Hi guys new to this forum, i have just blown up my D16V2 engine in my ukcivic ep3 sport, i caqn get hold of a h22 quite easily, and think it would be a great upgradealong with a turbo conversion, just need to know if anyone has any tech tips or even if it has been done before. Many thanks james :

Nope, you'd be the first. Kind of a step backwards in the evolutionary scale I would think. How'd you blow the diesel?

it is the 1600 petrol, there was a winning from the top end then at about 2000rpm i heard a loud belt snapping noise and the engine died !!!. probably better going for the civc type r engine then !! but they are costly right !

If you can go with Japanese CTR or ITR engine it comes with LSD, more agressive gearing and 20 more horses than UK version.

I'll bet it'll be much EASIER to swap in an H22 versus a K-series into your UK-spec, non-CTR EP...

It's laid out the same way, correct? With the intake manifold to the rear?

Why would it be? The motor mounts are going to probably be identical with all other EP3's.

I'd go to a junkyard and see what other motors you can get that cam in that chassis. If you start trying to put older motors in the car, you're going to have to do a ton of fab work.

stick with k-series

can you even do it? im not shure about regulations but ive heard your only allowed to swap motors that are of the year or newer than the auto your swapping into to be street legal. . .

Yea why not just get a K? I figured the frame should be all the same regardless of the type of motor in the EP. Honda ain't stupid, they are not going to change up the frame for the motor when all they need to do is change the motor mounts.

get a k swap and use the whole lower frame so it will go in and you will not be looking at your friends trying to figure out how it goes in
