Check into the H22 kit from HCP. IM Turbo EG6, he sells them alot. Good price too. Motor sits nicely and looks sweet. Kit is very solid.

Hi

Halo how low does the motor sit?

What kind of axle combo is used?

Thanks

Halo

I use to sell Hasport kits 6 months back and the thing I didn't like about that kit is the poition it put the motor in, same with place racing mounts. On the H series anyway it makes the motor sit too forward and angled down slightly, when it should be angled slightly up and back. I remember a year ago, my friend Ryan bought a B-series Hasport kit for his 90 CRX, the motor was positioned so poorly, that VTEC couldn't even enagage!!!!!!!!!! After that I switched to HCP and not had 1 complaint, IMO it is the best kit out there hands down.

Halo

I have pics of the mounts also, just email me and I can send them

Halo

I saw the mount kit already, What I want to ask is does the motor sit really low?

I have heard that the oil pan is really low for the H22a swaps..

The prelude ecu will plug up with the factory harness right?


Thanks

Halo

it sits lower by 1 inch max. The reason so many people think it sits lower is because the H22 outweighs a B-series by 100lbs and people use too soft of a spring rate on a car that is too low. If you go with the H22 swap, and want to lower your, steer clear of a 4-1 header design (sits lower, than 4-2-1 design) and increase your spring rate to compensate for the added weight. Also use some common sense and don't lower your car like 4'', any motor will scrape, the H22 is no different


Whether the ECu will plug into the Harness depends on whether the ECU is OBD 1 or 2 and if the harness is for OBD 1 or 2. If you happen to get a OBD 2 computer, throw it out in favor of a JDM Spec 1994 H22 ecu. I also sell wiring harness converters that can make OBD 2 cars use OBD 1 computers

Halo

I am sorry I am not making myself clear, what I mean is does the engine sit lower in the car where the oil pan easier to bottom out then an B16a swap.

I have heard of some mount kit that seat the engine to low in the engine bay, but I don't recall which kit

I understand that the Hasport kit needs to run a thiner radiator fan, does the HCP kit need that mod too?

Thanks
