yea it will fit.
its a good motor, actaully great motor.
just a b series T bracket for ur tranny and u can use your stock motor mounts if u want.

i don't know how you are with money right now but CTRs swap go for alot of money, personally i would just go with a gsr swap!

sorry im still sorta noob to this whole import thing but what would a GSR swap entail? XD

b16bs are great motors just still to damn expensive.
gsrs are basicly the same swap, you just have to figure out something with the butterfly valves in the mani.

i hear the gsr swap is the b18c5 and that its a better idea to use that one than the b16b because the b16 is like way heavier is this true?

Tons of info on this. But....

CTR = B16b = better than b16a engine. More power but not worth the price imo.

GSR = B18c1= Best bang for the buck if keeping relatively stock.

ITR = B18c5 = better than b18c1. But again not worth the price imo.

GSR swap in EK is Not much harder than the b16. Just requires a few more mounts, all of which you can use from the SI's b16. I'm sure more info can be found. Plus i'm lazy. So that's the basics for now.

Oh, and no. You might be thinking of the H22 as being heavier.
