Ok im geting a cx civic and i what i need to know is could a jrsc fit under the hood with a h22 lude motor. I you think so what wound need to done to fit this swap? ? how far back can the fire will be hamered back?

nope. stock IM barely fits. just turbo the thing.

goodness...a s/c h22 CX...that's gotta have traction issues (pretending it's feasible, that is).

poison

true, can you say snap, crackle pop to your axles?

no doubt, that would be 1 quick little car though.

on a side note i was debating h22 and the new greddy kit for h22's would that fit with A/C?

why dont you just buy some of those unbreakable axles....i think they are by competition engineering or something, they are like 6 bills and they can take anything.....but, thats hella weight on the front end...better have some dubs in the trunk to even out the weight.

that's a good question, although, it IS possible to have a/c with h22 in a civic, but you need fabrication to the hood and the radiator support (let alone, you are swapping in a beast motor into a lightweight chassis..why would you want a/c in the first place). however, it's not possible to have both a/c and a good sized turbo on at the same time, for the reason being the piping from the turbo to the intercooler. turbo's on preludes with a/c have the room in the engine bay for it, and even that is a slightly tight fit with all the crap in there.

with an h22 in a civic, that is pretty much all there is room for, is good piping, intercooler and a nice turbo to it

Not any more. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=203163. Prospeed is about to release an ac bracket for the h22 swap in civics that uses the civic ac compressor. AC kicks ***!!! This way you can be fast and still stay cool during the summers.

The H22A is next on my list of projects. I am going to look at a white 92 DX hatch today that might be the candidate for such a swap. I'm doing research right now and hope to get this thing started in the next few weeks.

the a/c compressor in a civic is where the alternator is on the h22a. where might possibly the a/c compressor be mounted (above the alternator is about the only place -- where the power steering for the h22a would go), and how will piping to the a/c radiator go about? let alone..........try bolting up a turbo there, and having good piping. I'd personally rather have major pull back and hear a blow off valve with the windows down and sunroof open than to push the a/c button with windows and everything up, but i guess that's just me.
