h22a in 6gen 4door civ?

[butterfinger]

Has anyone swaped an h22a into a 6th gen 4 door civic before? And how did it go, what did you need to swap it(any extra mounts..etc), is it worth it?....etc..

wow 7 views and no replies.... <_<

do some reading and searching and you'll find tons of info I'm sure.
Any H series into any civic is going to require alot of extra parts and work

it is not worth it IMO, just go with something that fits like a B16 or B18 and you won't have as many headaches

thnx for the replies. but civicious, i read on a different site that you could fit a/c and power stearing...is this true or just a lie? if it is then what is the "best" motor for a 6gen 4-door civic?

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

just told you if it was true or a lie

i have no earthly idea dude...this is just what was told to me...when i first started gettin shit together for my swap, i was lookin at dropping an H22, but it looked like a NIGHTMARE...the H and K series motors tild forward, and B series tilt back (i think thats right...might be vice-versa)....i ended up going with a B16A, which is an OBD0 motor and a NIGHTMARE, but im sure a H22 would be even more of a pain. either way, i still went without a/c or p/s...in a 4dr you gotta get rid of EVERYTHING that's not necessary & takes up space and weight

damn...thnx for the heads-up

5spd out of a 94 Integra LS....not as good as a gsr, but a lot friendlier on the wallet.

LS tranny has horrible gearing for NA

im hopin its good for turbo...i have a t3/t4 with an intercooler, i jus gotta get a new downpipe....i read somewhere-dont know if it was true or not-that the taller gearing that the LS tranny has is better for turbo

for turbo, that has been a debate for a while... some say its better some say worse, you should let us know how you like it when you do yours

I still say the longer gearing is worse, a GSR tranny would be a good way to go.
