hi im new here so i have a question to ask. i am going to buy a 94 civic hatchback and i am wanting a lot of power out of it. engine swap and turbo setup for sure. plus other mods. the thing is i dont know which engine would be the best. ive heard great things about the h22a but i dont know if it will fit in my car. heard a lot about the b series also. also im curious if the f20 would fit (s2000). i just need a starting point which would be the engine then i can do great things. i want to have one mean civic when it hits the streets.

 

first of all welcome to the forum. you will find alot of your questions answered by using THE SEARCH BUTTON

but since i'm a nice guy, i'll go ahead and answer your question.

if you go b-series swap in your 94 civic hatch it will be an easier swap because it is a straight drop. when you buy a complete swap, they will come w/ everything you need. but ofcourse you will need to wire your vtec and knock sensor if you bought a vtec motor.

H22 in a hatch is also a great idea but alot of work. you will need to buy aftermarket mounts which hasport.com sells, but they are not cheap. you will also need to remove your passenger side chassis bracket where the tranny mount bolts up to.

F20c motor will not fit in your car due to the fact that it is a rear wheel drive. your civic is made for a front wheel drive tranny. unless you modifiy your car in order to run a rear wheel drive tranny / motor, it is impossible

so in conclusion, i think you will be happy w/ a b-series swap. it is a great motor, and also great if you are barely getting into hondas

yeah my bad im new to the whole forum thing also

 

well im going the H way in my 94 civic. I think its a better engine then the little B. You got high stock output to begin with. Its not that hard to swap into your civic.

 

u can also go k- series. it's just very costly. and as for a rwd s2k powered hatch isn't impossible, just crazy check this guy out http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2196304

 

well i would go with a h22 . beacause theres a lot of peolpe doin a b series swap and you dont want to be like everybody else so go with a h22 like me

 

i just bought a 92 hatch wit a h22a pickin the monster up nxt saturday n got a nice 400 mile drive to test her out on

 

you can get the mounts for the h22 swap on ebay pretty cheap for around 175 dollars its worth checkin out
