after searching around and reading just about every post ever made on H-T about the h22 civic hybrid thing I found that a lot of people say the traction sucks with it. Is it really that bad? I was planning on doing this swap and I dont want to be roasting tires left and right every time I get on gas.

try traction bars they help me not to burn tires

Turbogixxer

The h22a has more torque, so it does spin more. But with any swap putting that power down, it will spin too.

when i race i use thoes flaken drag raidials and i have no trac bars and it cut down wheel spin a good bit but i like to put a set if 14 on te front and burn 3rd like no n/a b could

"Traction sucks" because people like to launch the car like a B-series motor and the wheels just spin. It takes practice launching a H22 Civic but when you get it down, it'll fly down the track.

BTW, I used to drive with reg Dunlop tires (had Falken Ziex) and afterwhile, they spin a lot for daily driving when you get on it. Switched to Nitto drag radials on my EG and used Falken Azenis tires on my EK (which I liked better for daily driving for a couple of reasons). Point being, if you want traction on the street or track, you're going to want to get some good, soft tires to drive on.

alright, thanks for the info

I have Falken Azenis on my C8's and the traction isnt bad, but for winter I have some crappy tires on my LS mesh and thats when traction is an issue. Its all about the right tire and launching right

practice, practice, practice........

it's all about the "sweet" spot. when you learn yours, your car is a "GOD"

torque is your friend

BTW drag rads. will help....

that's true i had a b18b swap before i was used to launching it high. Then when i got the h22 swap i would do the same and it would light up the tires. But when you do learn the g spot then you'll appreciate the h22.

Same here, I would say practice. When i first got my H22 swap, my launch was horrible cuz I kept thinking I can launch at a high rpm. You get good traction if you launch around 3. I have falken Azenis's on it now.

UpstateCivic

I had a lot of problems over the summer launching. I was running Yokohama AVS tires on my C8's and they just weren't hooking up. But for this year I'm gonna run the Falken Ziex and I'm looking into a traction bar setup.

1st, it all depends on what tires you're running. 2nd, read what I said up above.... each setup is different and it takes practice to find the "sweet spot" with you car when launching it. Weather, ground/track surface, tire air pressure, how the motor is running, etc.... all that factors into how you launch the car.

blackedoutcivic

i just wanted ideas on how you guys launch.. i have a 2000 HB with 2000 h22 (converted to obd1). i am running 15" slips w/ azenis.

I can't wait to get a chance at just DRIVING my eg, the motor has been in the car now for about 3 weeks and i have to just stare at it due to the nasty *** weather, and lack of axles
