Ok guys, i DID search, but havent found exactly what ive wanted. Mostly little bits of information here and there. I know i still have to research a lot more. I also checked out the "what swaps are available.." thread, and other threads related to h22 swaps.

Here it goes. Ive found a 96 cx, and my and my dad were thinking of having it as a project car. I was thinking more towards h22 swap. My questions are:

//Would you suggest an h22 rather to a B18c5?
(I know that they will be relatively around the same price including installation, and that the h22 is heavier)

//If i did go with the h22 swap, besides the mounts, what else would i need?
(I know i need axles, i think?)

//I couldnt pass emissions with an h22 because it will be older than '96 right?

//Stock h22ed 96 hatch vs stock b18c5ed 96 hatch, which one would be faster?
(I know this is bench racing or whatever, but im just curious)

//I couldnt have PS or AC with an h22 right?


I know i have more questions, they just arent coming to me right now. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

yes, you would need axles for the H, but most of the $ spent in the swap is for small things to make it fit, not larger cost parts. In my experience (all else equal), the H pulls the C5 slightly in a straight line. Make sure you run your car OBD2 (and get a 96+ motor) for emissions. You can have PS and AC in an H22 EK, but getting them to fit is not fun.

In my opinion, the H is better performace for $ spent, but will be a lot harder to install with AC and PS.

I dont think this will be a DD, so PS and AC arent a must, but im still trying to decide.

Thanks.

I checked on hmotorsonline, but they only had 92-95s. Any ideas where i could get a 96+?

i went the path of installing a h22 into my 96 ek as well. My advice would be to reasearch as much and everything you can and to have a very experienced mechanic install it. go w/ the c5. Alot less of a headache

fast+forward

my parts list-
motor/tranny
mounts
dss level 2 axles
accord shifter plate
accord fuel rail
obd2-&gt;1 ecu harness converter
new radiator (old one was broken)
new slim fan
timing belt/tensioner
new clutch
new dizzy cap and rotor
new spark plugs and wires
fuel pump
fuel pressure regulator
fuel pressure guage
oil
coolant
some of this stuff you might not need, but i just tried to play it safe and replace all the parts while the motor was out

i have a h22 on my 97 ek i didnt want to go obd2 so i converted to obd1 for tuning im runing on uberdata no powersteering no ac ,im boosting 8 psi on gude performance turbo trust the time you will spent on installation its worth it

Yea, im pretty sure im going throguh with the swap, but im not doing it myself. If i find a shop that will, then it will be a go. My question is, where can i find an OBDII h22? I want OBDII so i can pass emissions, or, id rather have obdII.

Another question, removable steering wheels wont pass inspection right? WhHat do people do?

Thanks.

Future.
