my friend says that if you drop a h22 into a civic that it leans the wrong way and messes up the frame. is this true?

Scroll down to where it says H22A

haha fagget

mess up the frame no, but yes it does lean the wrong way and will give you understeer problems.

I have an H22 swap in my Integra, and it runs good.

transmission11

how much did it cost for you to put it in? Or did you do it yourself

mycro_machine

hey what kinda suspension did u use for the swap. thanks bro

Yes it leans the otherway, but it makes steering so much easier (center of gravity of the motor is more towards the center of the car... with a B-series motor, it tilts forward, thus putting more weight in the front --- PS with a H22 motor in a Civic is for wussies IMO... it's not needed)

As for it understeering a lot... a huge myth. People need to go out and drive a H22 Civic for themselves before they say this or that about what their HEARD. Go here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=183552
Perfect example of how a H22 Civic handles on a sanctioned Road Race course.

BTW, here's an old pict:



Ran a best of 12.6 @ 119mph on slicks... all motor, stock motor. 100 shot of NOS is added... time to go time it again....

I like your mph, its up there

Also if you looked at a stock H22 engine in a lude, it has a tilt backwards as well which is what I noticed while using the HCP mountkit.. So its similar to its stock position..

why do people give out false information? information which they haven't experienced 1st hand. those people are dumb as dirt. vtectuning? who the **** are they? i live in no. va and haven't heard of them. my h22 doesn't lean back towards the firewall. and even if it did, i'd think that would be better for handling. h22/civic's (if done right) do not handle like ****. they handle just fine for everyday driving. there isn't as much "fabrication" as they say there is either. one stock mount needs to be taken out in some cases and that's it. there's your major fabrication. VTECTUNING SUCKS! get information from people with experience and not hearsay.

how much did it cost to put your engine in? You have to get rid of the old civic engine mounts and buy new ones for the lude engine right? -Thanx man I think i may have made a decision to go for the swap..now its time for saveing

Jason kiDD

Do you have any pictures of your interior?? I used my Accord shift lever and it doesnt seem like the Civic center console is going to fit over it. I just wanted to see what other people were using..

Its not a civic...but same platform.....

and handling is great in my integra.....after adding a type r sway bar and a few other suspension parts...my handling is way better than it was stock...even with the h22's added weight up front...

Yo chill man... I've seen a 50-50 say here... Some people say it's not ideal... And every hybrid site I've seen says it's not sugested... Seriously dude, calm down! I was trying to warn the kid... So once again... Chill...

You use a mount kit, which replaces all of your stock mounts. Only the HCP mount kit (which I use and sell) does not require any cutting/welding in the engine bay. Therefore, if I really wanted to, I can throw a B-series motor back into my car and it'll bolt right in.

As for installation, very easy and quick. Believe it or not, it's faster to bolt in a H22 motor than a B-series motor (took us 12 minutes to get it all bolted up.... the easy way is to have the motor on the ground, drop the chassis ontop of it, bolt the rear mount first, then sides and you're set).

nice

MrSmith

does hcp make a mounting kit for 6G civics as well? Or can the 5G kit be adapted to fit?

Jason kiDD

I should be a salesman...

What do you think Newman??

Newman

Hehe....

leatherneck28

do u know where i can get a step by step install for a vtec h22 into a 91 si hatch?

nickwilmot

To swap a the motor by droping the chasis on top of it, doesn't it invole removing the frot suspension? How hard is it to do it from the top
Thanks

I found my donor h22a from a rolled 98 prelude sh. I've heard stories that I cant use the sh tranny. What up? It going in a eg cx w/z6 power for now.
