I was just wondering what everyone's opinions would be on an 89 Civic DX Hatchback with a H22A motor in it. Like what would you guess (very rough guess) the times would be and stuff. Or if any of you actually have this setup... What your times are? I was just wondering because: A) I am possibly looking into doing this, this summer. B) I was talking to someone that said that isn't that much power and that car would be slow. I don't get how they think it would be a slow car. That power is very comprable to an RSX Type S, which does 0-60 in 6.2 and I think somewhere in the 14s 1/4 mile. But that weighs like 700 lbs more than a hatch. Anyways... That was a tangent. So yeah... That is my question, and any other suggestions, recommendations would be helpful too.

Thanks in advance,
DJ

 

Also... I did a search to try to find another post of this, but either I didn't do it right, or there were none.

 

You'd be well in the 13s with an H22 in the DX. Whoever said there isn't much power needs to be bitch slapped. There is a LOT of potential with that engine.

 

That is what I thought.... They are dumb. Thanks...

 

putting an h22 in a hatchcrap would be alot of work, you have to convert obd, run the stupid *** shifter cable for the tranny, and all of that good stuff... look into it more before you buy all of the **** then realize you cant do it.
