so ive been having a few problems with my jdm b16a. the biggest one would be my annoying engine knock. so what im thinking about doing is swapping in a h22. i have a 95 civic coupe. im thinking that i can sell the b16 for at least 1500, then look for a used h22 with tranny for hopefully around the same price. my question though, i know swapping in the b16 needed new axles, etc. is it going to be the same issue for the h22? i wasnt sure whether they would work together or not. im thinking probably not though. going to the junkyard tomorrow to see what i can find. lemme know what you guys think of this idea.

 

No one in their right mind would pay 1500 for a B16A with rod knock. You can buy a complete running swap for 1700

 

im not positive on what is causing the knock, i think its a valve knock. havent been able to pinpoint that though.

 

Look into doing a H2B setup. There calling it a K-killer. Its a H22 w/ B trans.

 

Yup, I was up against an H2B over x-mas and it pulled off the line like nothing I have ever seen. Great driver, he limited the 1st gear spin to just a chirp.
