opinion on a h22 swap in a sol?
So I recently found a h22 by me in great condition, was pulled out of a sol and has some low mileage.
My issues holding me back:
-Is it realy that heavy?
-Am I gonna realy throw off my balance? (Tein's all around, lowered)
-How is a h22 in comparison to a b18? Quicker, more torque?
-How hard to swap in
My issues holding me back:
-Is it realy that heavy?
-Am I gonna realy throw off my balance? (Tein's all around, lowered)
-How is a h22 in comparison to a b18? Quicker, more torque?
-How hard to swap in

30 more LBS than a B series
Your suspension probably isnt tuned anyway
H22s will rip any stock B18 a new one
Not very hard. But you have to get special mounts. Not sure about wiring issues. Shift linkage is of a different type. So some cutting is involved.

Thank you for the speedy reply

I like
Special mounts? Hasport have em? What kind of cutting do you mean?

Hasport does sell them. So do other places. just make sure you get good mounts or you'll have vibrations and driveline problems all the time. Hasport mounts are generally very good. I think they sell them in different grades of polyurethane...so you can get softer ones and not have the really annoying mount vibrations and noises. I hate that **** lol.
You have to cut the shifter hole in the floor...and i THINK in the firewall. I've helped put a motor in the chassis, but never stuck around for the details.
Just remember, you'll most likely lose AC and power steering.

Re: (B serious)
You're suspension won't need much more tweaking than if it had a b-swap. You might want to get stiffer rates up front if anything, buy again 30lbs isn't that much. It's really that the engine might be placed more aft of the usual location, so more weight towards the radiator.
Have you considered h2b? You can shave ~10-15lbs, maintain stock axle placement and weight distribution. It has all the plus sides of an h22 and more. Better gearing, shift linkage instead of cables, more aftermarket support for the tranny, and can be done for about the same price.

Shifter Holes no biggie, firewall might be a little more..
lol I don't have powersteering to begin with, not a problem and AC, I live in new york
it gets hot but not unbearable like out west. Taking the top off is enough for me in the summer.

No I haven't I heard about the h2b, the reason I'm looking at the h22 is because its available at a fairly good deal.

What does the k-series have to do with the OP's topic? The OP didn't list a k-series engine as one of his options or any option. Don't post irrelevant bullshit like that again. It's only your second post, don't make an *** out of yourself.

I've been looking at this lately too, and one of the posts I found googling said that you CAN keep the AC with a H22 (Critical for me, I live in Phoenix), and you can keep the PS but you would have to relocate a couple things for that.
Most everyone I've seen still recommends a built B series instead of an H (or K), unless you have insane $$$.

Just a question: aft is towards the rear, so how would you get more weight towards the radiator if you move the engine further back?

Re: opinion on a h22 swap in a sol? (esco562)
Just making a suggestion. I would prefer a K series over the H22 for a couple of reasons. No doubt the H22 would be great in there, but later on he may want more power then have to swap again. So if he just started out with a K then I would think he would be happier. But really I dont know his entire situation or how much money he wants to put into his car. Its just my opinion, and something he might want to consider, im not trying to prove anyone wrong, sorry if it sounded that way.

Take a look in the hybrid forum. They have a lot on the H22 and the H2B options.

It's geared a lot like the GSR. The H22 has torque..so it's not that big of a deal.
If you buy the H2B kit like ekforeverjerk (jk jk) suggested, then you can slap a B16 or ITR trans on there. B series transmissions have tons of ring and pinion combos for great gearing. But I think a B16 or ITR trans with a torque heavy H22 would make for a very fun, fast, tire spinning time.
