Big time possible. Ive heard things about it though. People say it better to do an h22 as they are easier to find parts for. Remember most auto parts stores wont carry parts for a motor that never came to america. However people say some h22 parts will swap over since its is essentially just a destroked h22 (I dont know for sure never owned one). Its all in personal preference really i guess. I would love to do it cause i love being different. But it would probably be easier to do the h22. But if you are dead set on doing it, DO IT

There are alot of no name brands that make them. But the stiffness of them is enough to break your teeth. I used some no name ebay ones on my very first gsr swap in my 91 hatchback and everytime you shifted it felt like the front end was gonna rip right off. So if that doesnt bother you then you could do that. But hasport will replace any mounts that go bad on you for free they take good care of there customers. There are a few other mid range companies but i cant remember names right off the top of my head that would probably be a better choice. Just google it lol.

yeah i'd rather not have my car feel like it's falling apart. and i do choose quality over price any day. so hasport it is. there's an f20b at japanstar motor in albany Ny, but i've heard rumor that they're closing before spring. and im not a hundred sure how much i trust ebay motors. i'm willing to travel at most 300 miles from albany ny so like PA, Mass, CT, area for a motor.

I bought an ebay sr20 for my g20 and it was CLEAN!!!. I wish i could remember the guys name i would give it to you. But i was directed to him buy an sr20 development member so i knew i was good. If you do go through an ebay seller do research and look at feedback. If they sell shitty motors someone is bound to say something.

hmotorsonline is a good place to get motors

http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc...age&item=30013

and you can get innovative mounts if you say h22 mounts will work, cheaper then hasport too

good sites, definitely better pricing than the place down the road, although it will be more with shipping. oh well there's still time and a lot to think about
