Hi!

I am writing from Italy!

I now own a Accord with a H22 swap in it.
I often go to track days and have fun with my car. I have quite a few mods in it and it runs quite well.
My problem is weight!


I wanted now to get the engine out and fit it into a EG Civic.

Is it a good idea?
Is it a complicated swap?

Is it possible to keep AC or there is no space?

I could strip everythig out of my Accord but since it is my daily ride I don't tink its a good idea ad it still be too heavy.

You can keep anything you want, but it takes ingenuity to do so. I've seen people bring over their a/c with no problem at all, but I've seen other people have to 'massage' certain parts to get it to work.

By the way,
h22accord = 14.5-15.0 1/4
h22civic = 13.5-14.0 1/4

You have an accord?

 

Thats all up to you. I have a H22/Civic and I love it. Nothin like a 13sec daily driver. But I am lookin for a 98+ Accord to do a type s swap as a daily driver. I like the Accords, I think they are different witch equels nice! Good luck and take your time, these guys on HT will help you out with alot, they helped me!!!

Reading comprehension ownz you.

14.0

I may be on the slower side of h22 civics, but I also carry around 400 more pounds while only being a couple tenths off.

civic is lighter so you will be quicker. but a fast accord is always nice

Yes, I know!

I want to try now and see what I could get out from my Accord.
Since it's almost all engine work, I won't loose it when I will swap the engine in the Civic!

One thing I should do is also some serious brakes.
