I have a 96 Civic HB and I was wondering if anyone has ever done a prelude engine swap? Is it even possible without cutting the wheel wells? Also I have the chance to get a B18c1 with tranny and chip for $1000. I'm new to this so point me in the right direction. Oh and unfortunatly its an auto which I want to switch to a 5 speed. Thanks

H22 got a f|_|ck'n lot's of powers, especially wheen you turbocharge it!!
this car run like a rocket.

 

actually...atomicperformance is no more. It is no ImportBuilders. http://www.importbuilders.com

 

If i am correct you don't even have to cut the wheel wells, i seen a 92-95 hatch with a H22 stuffed in it.

I read in a magazine a guy did a H23 bottom end with a H22 Vtec head, more displacment and in the end bigger horsepower and torque numbers....

 

Damn, sorry for the misindication, I tought they where open!!
I need to put my links to date!'
Anyway this is a big lost, they was one of the best shop for the h22 swap.
