ok my mechanic just said that i have to get a new motor for my car ...
is it possible for me to put a gsr or a 2.2 motor in my car ..
if i can how much does those motors cost and is it easy to do ?

your in a del sol so a gsr would be easy an h22 would make it faster but u need a mount kit and axles and some othere odds and ends

sexysam

how much would that cost homie...

BigdEG9

for an h22 i really havent done any research on it but at least 500 for mounts probly around 220 for axles

BigdEG9

but chech out hmotorsonline.com they sell the h22 swap and have the optioon of getting the mounts with it for extra cash of course and i think they offer axles to

sexysam

is that just for the mounts .. and axles ..
not even including the engine .. ?
and what kind of motor is an h22..
my bad im kinda noob..

BigdEG9

an h22 is a prelude motor 2.2L dohc vtec but honestly i would go gsr or b16 maybe type r if u can get the cash for it

sexysam

isnt a 2.2 a better and faster motor than a gsr ... ?

BigdEG9

well yes but is u get and older one like most people do the sleeves are made of a diff material and that usally means if u want to do boost or high compression u normally have to change the sleeves and thats not cheap

sexysam

what are the sleeves... ?
but im probably not going to be boosting ..
if anything ill probably add just full exhaust or something ..
so what do you recommend . .
im looking at that website you gave me and they are selling an h22 for about 1000 bucks.. you think i should go for that one .. ?
how many horses does that sucker have anyway.

BigdEG9

and the h22 is a heavy motor but not by much i think its anywhere from 30-50 pounds more than a gsr or b16

BigdEG9

u r looking at a long block u need to look for it its like on the 5th page and it says complete swap but really man what i would do is get ur self a nice b series and do mild head work. the h22 put out like 200 i think and if ur not going to tear it down u probly dont want to be worrying about sleeves

sexysam

what you mean by tear it down ..
haha .. i dont understand this lingo ..
can you explain it to me in idiot terms...
my bad ...

BigdEG9

"tear it down" ="taking motor apart" if ur not taking that motor apart ur just going to buy one a put it in right or do u plan on building the motor

sexysam

yea im just going to put another one in there
highly doubt ill do anything myself
haha

BigdEG9

if u can pick up a full gsr for a good price go that route less problems in the long run

sexysam

in what way..

BigdEG9

well the h22 is a good motor but that motor in a del sol i have seen and driven is fun and great but its not that cheap and if u want to drop ur car that will be hard with an h22 they sit real low in the engine bay

sexysam

ok but what does tthat ...
its not coo to have? itll hit the floor or something... ?
but is it fast though ?

Not to be a dick but you don't sound like you have the knowledge or capabilities to pull of swapping a stock engine in your car, let alone a b or h-series engine. Since you won't be doing the work yourself you will have to find someone to swap to a diff engine for you. Your mechanic could certainly swap a stock engine back in your car i imagine, but going with a diff engine altogether is probably not going to happen. not unless this guy just so happens to specialize in honda's and swaps. and if he does, i'm sure he'd be more than happy to charge you an assload to swap something other than the stock powerplant in there for ya. I hope you have some money burnin a hole in your pocket thats all i can say.

sexysam

haha... for damn sure i wouldnt be putting it in myself.
id get somebody else to do it for me ?
but its not something anybody can do ?
the mechanic is actually my dads best friend..id just probaly be payin for parts..but its not an easy thing to do . ?

BigdEG9

not really altho bs are easy if u know what ur doing

D16SiHatch

Its not like you can just pull the stock engine out and drop a b-series of some sort in there without changing anything. You have to sort out wiring, you'll need a diff ecu, the engine itself and tranny, motor mounts, b-series shift linkage, intermediate shaft, axles, the list goes on.

BigdEG9

yes but it is by far simpler than an h22 am i right
