I don't know much about h22 engines but this guy told me he's selling a jdm h22 for $400.
I've been wanting a dohc so I think this may be good for me but I bought my jdm d15b for $450 and I know dohc integra engines go for a lot more so why is this so cheap?

Is there a downside to these engines and what all needs to be changed for it to work in a eg civic?

I would go with a b series rather than h22, because i think it much more difficult to put the h22 in. Here is a link that might help on how to put a h22 in a civic.

Dude that link is from 2003!!!

Its almost 2010 -- ALOT has changed -- names H2B swap?

I would jump all over a $400 H22 ESPECIALLY if its in good shape.

The JDM H22 will make more hp and torque than any stock B series, yes even an ITR

Search QSD for the H2B kit...uses B series mounts, axles etc...only major difference is the H2B adapter and thats 700 retail...even if you put the two together 1100 for a motor that makes more power and torque than any B series swap...awesome.

Most guys tend to upgrade as they do the swap -- header, intake, exhaust...but you will do that anyway with a B series...but in this case youll be 200+whp where most B series would be like 160-190whp and make way more torque.

In 03 H2B didnt exist and you had to use the garbage H series trans...now you can use the B series trans which is MUCH better. Plus the H22 head has more potential than the B head.

Cant go wrong really...especially for $400 if its legit and clean

I agree with SergEK

You can have everything you need for less than a GSR swap and have significantly more power and torque as well.

$400 is a pretty damn good deal.

Yeah if its a good healthy running motor, then thats a hell of a deal. It'll chomp on any b series

i just got done putting an h22 into my EG' civic and ... its NOT difficut to put it in and get it rdy.. 400 is really good... get it. forget the B.

The weight isn't an issue, despite what some people will say. The weight distribution is a little off and the engine compartment will be somewhat cramped.

For $400, get it. Keep in mind it has FRM sleeves. They're super tough, but eat piston rings faster than normal steel sleeves.

I got my jdm h22a long block for $650 and I thought that was cheap.. the $400 deal is even better. But check and make sure everything is good. Btw I have an h2b swap. Best investment ever!

effay

h22 Trannys are terrible. from what i heard.


but sstaying ontopic. make sure the engine is running , ask for compression ratios and all that technical stuff

fryman

hmm since it's a good deal I think I'll buy it even if I don't put it in my car but if I do put it in my car what all will I need to go with it?
ecu,drive shafts,motor mounts,transmission....what else?

VEGAN_EG

shift cables and shifter if you use h22 tranny.
depending on your car you might need to rewire some things.

and a clean pair of pants after the first time you drive it
i love my h22, wouldn't go any other way

You also need to change your axles if your putting it into a civic. Stock civic axles cant handle the weight from an h22

drew1987

ask if he had a timing belt busted usaully those motors go for that much if something wrong with it..check inside the head their might be some bent valves..ask questions..and if everything is find..then thats a awesome price...go with hasport axles...

slobalt05

if it is in good condition and legal i would get it

h22 is heavy, but if you want check for cracks or something.

miguel329

lol wieght isnt thant much...

ferio252

Wow that sounds like a good deal. 400 for an H22 ! I say go for it but make sure everything is legit.

raidacaipo

Go h2b man... its the only way if you want a reliable h22.. why? because your reusing B series motor mounts, half shaft, axles, and transmission.

38genesis

no offence, just sharing some xperience with yo'll. i work @ the tuner shop but i specialize in suspension. thats why i said heavy when cornering

R666_EK

Wrong. Its not even the weight itself that creates the issue. Its the position of it that can create understeer.

R666_EK

How is the extra weight going to affect the axle? The axles don't hold the engine up.

Even IF it was the weight that was the issue, you still wouldn't be able to use a stock civic axle.

The EXCEPTION would be, IF he already had a B series, AND was going H2B. But that's clearly not the case here.

Please keep the BS answers out.

raidacaipo

well I dont think that he even has the parts for an H swap yet so he might as well start finding parts for a B series swap and just do an h2b while hes at it.. Unless he already has a complete h22 with transmission and axles etc but that isnt the case.. I dont even think he even bought the motor from that guy yet..

R666_EK

Oh, I doubt he has ANY parts for the swap yet either.

I was simply stating that no matter what the reason, he WILL NOT be able to use stock civic axles. And not simply due to the extra weight.

If I was him and dead set on going H22, he should buy it (if all checks out) Then piecing together everything he needs for an H2B.

boxeocampeon

i would thats really cheap the only thing is that its heavy tho
