I want to put an h22 in my 96 civic ex. which h22 would be the easiest? i dont want to swap in b series. i am thinking the h22a4 since its obd2. or at least i think it is? i have time so let me know what you guys think. also what would be needed to do this? p/s and ac inst important.

 

wont be as easy as a b series and u can get a ob2 b series motor u would need swap of course hassport mounts, shift linkage and half shafts and wireing harness and ecu

 

wiring harness...do you mean the whole engine wiring harness? straight from the ecu or just a jumper?

 

i belive it is the whole engine harness. and ecu for the motor....i didnt know you were going H series on us...also, your going to want stiffer front springs becuase the H is odviously heavier than the B or D. so thats why you have all those D parts...

 

haha well i do have a lot of spare D parts but i have a D in right now so hey.. haha im not sure yet the more research i do the more im thinkin b16b or b18b1 i have no idea just trying to figure out what i want. it will probably end up being b16b if i can come up with the money. i wanted to go h22 but i read some stuff that made me reconsider. and by the way liketurtle said, i have lots of d series parts. let me know if ya need anything.

 

dude, an h-series is just as easy as any b-series swap. and what most ppl dont know is h-series are a whole 35lbs more than a b-swap. so loose some weight or something and bam.! but for the hp tq ratings and the price h-series is way to go..I have done the swap for a friend and I just ordered my h22a as well. its easy a hell..if you need any info on how to do it and stuff just PM me man. And let me tell you no gsr or b16 of any sort will keep up w/you..you will smash all b-series and all k-series besides the k20a2.

 

street imports will sell you everything you need in all-in-own package right down to the motor mounts and new axles and header.

screw the b-series.

what drbryers said! and thats the place i orderd my stuff from..good ppl..and veryawsomeabout everything!

 

nice ill do some thinking. the only thing i was iffy about was whether i turbo or not. could an h22 handle like 7-10 lbs stock internals??

 

this guy said he got 290 whp with stock head and block and a good tune.

the running myth around here is that h22as are no good for boosting. but you can boost almost anything if you do it within reason.

the key word is "modest" boost, not crazy boost. i wouldn't shoot for anything higher than 7-8 psi on stock internals.
