I dont think so, If you are going to pull the motor in your hatch, I would do a B16 or B18. there not to expensive.

The difference between a 2.0 and a b18 is the 2.0 is free. The 2.0 won't fit in my hatch?

you could probly make it fit, but itd be hard as hell to do so. a b18c would pretty much bolt right in... to put in the engine dont forget about all the other things you have to use...

its basicly, with a few exeptions, the same as an h22 swap. i think somone on here did this. it would'nt be very fast, as im pretty sure it only has about 130 hp. but it would have enough torque to be fun to daily drive i guess.

Why would you do that? Will it? Sure. Should you? I'm going to go with no on this one.

Enough said. Get the kit for it and do it. Also if you ever get bored go pick up a H22 and drop it in since the kits already in for it.

i think you should go with the 2.0 just cuz its free. itll cost you some serious money to get that to fit well and ****, but hey, with whatever money you save, you could resleeve the block.

sorry, but i dont know much of anything abotu this kind of swap, but goodluck man. be sure to let us know how it goes!

Or should I just do a mini-me swap and switch to an ex/si tranny?

The D16 head and tranny would be your best bet for cost effectiveness and horsepower increase. The motor may be free but getting it in your car is gonna cost you.

It would be too much of a pain in the *** to make work, not to mention the motor would be at least 15 years old? Whats the point? Just get a JDM D15B with tranny for $700 and be done with it.
