Well first I’d like to thank Seth @ QSD for his support and JDSinghH2B for helpingme along the way. This is my build – going from B20 to H23vtec blue top (motor is stock, butterfly plate removed, balance shafts removed) withGSR LSD trans. I have been researching, studying this swap, and collectingparts for over a year. I started the swap two Fridays ago and had it runningthe following Monday, everything was done except the exhaust and tune. Got those two done over this past weekend and I am very happy with the results. Oh yeah it’sa 96 RS Integra and I am keeping A/C with stock rad with stock fan, slim fan for a/c and custom lines (not installed yet, waiting on $$ for a A/C charge).

my motor cleaned up!


ready to go in

what I do on the weekends SCCA CONE racing!!

 

picture isn't work and you show do a write on how to keep a/c in the integra with the h2b. are you running the full size radiator or using a half size radiator?

 

Pics are not there...

 

hes using stock full size radiator with slim fans. innovative make a A/C bracket that allows you to keep A/C

 

Nice, how'd you get the motor to clear the hood, so it could fully close? Your using the qsd kit too right.

 

Yeah its a QSD kit. Im using oem hard race mounts. Also using the innovative pcv relocate.

What car are you working on?

 

So are the hardrace mounts different from regular mounts or hasport mounts, does it make it sit lower?

Im doing an h2b integra to but still collecting parts.

 

Hardrace mounts are stock mounts just with inserts. Im guessing they sit lower since my hood closes fully. Never used hasport mounts. Man you will love the swap just stay with it.

 

Is it the Innovative 96-00 EK Civic H22 AC Bracket? Thats the only one i saw on the site. I heard it will not work on a DC/DB Chassis. Is this true?

Also what alternator/alternator bracket are you using? Did you still have to bang the frame rail?

BTW: I have a 97 DB and will be doing an H2B but want to keep A/C and will be converting my steering rack to a manual one.

 

If you look at the pics he cut a decent size notch in the frame rail and boxed it in. Plenty of clearance after that.
I spoke with him before about this and he has some good info. It's the innovative ek ac bracket and d series compressor, h22 alt and bracket with narrow belt.

 

yes Innovative. not sure then but i kno a guy who has a H2B integra wit A/C ill ask him.

Im using the Innovative relocation with H22 alternator but it mounts where the ac compressor is. but if your going to keep ac then u need QSD alt. relocation kit. you have the bang frame if you use H/F series alternator.

 

LOL ignore the part where i said "a guy i know" cuz this is his thread lol. was high when i was relying to your post and didnt even realize. LOL

 

Lol...

 

I have a F2B and a/c would be nice.

Also converting mine to Manual rack too!

 

Question man. I have a eg with a b18c5 LSD tranny. Thinking about selling the engine itself (super healthy) and gettig a H22 or 23. To get theh2b.. You think its worth it?!

 

Absolutely worth it. I'm in the process of doing a f20b f2b setup. My setup is f20b with Euro r intake manifold, plm h2b header for now, skunk2 pro1, type r trans with 4.9 final drive

 

I found someone who will take my healthy b18c5 and I'll keep my LSD tranny. And i did the math and i can break even with the h2b kit and engine just wonder if it was worth all the work.. Ive always wanted it. Thanks man good post

 

whats up Im the f2b f20b guy from youtube
a lot of ppl are getting the f20b now

 

I think so I have yet to be out dyno by a b series in my f20b
