H22A swap into a 99 Civic Si Chassis
 

I have a 99 Civic Si Chassis. Any recommendations on which engine I should drop in it ? I will not be doing the swap my self, I will be taking it to a local shop here in town. I have been reading about the H22A swap into my chassis, I think that is the route I am going to take. Now that I am researching the H22A, looks like there are a lot of models of that engine. Any one know which ones would fit in my vehicle, or at least which one would have the best potential. I know that I will need to use different motor mounts, CV Axles, and shift linkage. I live in Alaska so shipping is going to be outrageous so I would like to do this correctly.


Thanks, Any information / recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I recommend keeping the b16a in your si already unless it died. Your only looking at 30hp increase. with the swap so just turbo the b16 for easily 100hp or more. not to mention h22 swaps are 4k or so. hope this helps.

I say go with a jdm h22a. It's only a 30hp increase, but it has 160ft/lbs of torque stock... in a 2300lb car, that'll spin the tires pretty good.
