Default Mount kit for an H22 in a 96 EX coupe?

Anyone have any experience with one of these kits, any suggested companies, or horror stories? I was going to go with HCP but I have heard millions of horror stories so now I'm not sure what to use. Any input would be appreciated thanx.

This isn't exactly about the mounting kit, it is more about the H22 swap itself. Most of the reports I have heard from people who did that swap was that their handling went to CRAP. That much weight up front in that light of a car doesn't balance too well. Also, depending on the mounting kit, the H22 may end up having most of its weight sitting IN FRONT of the front axle which is not good at all.

Disclaimer: this is just stuff I have HEARD, I have no personal experience with this swap.

Let me try to put your mind to ease...





Now, compare these H22A swaps to the new K20...



Feel better now???

Thanx BDC.. It's inspiring to see a mint install. I'll post some pics when I do the swap

Why is there a BOV on the yellow car with no turbo?

OMG, here we go again!!! Ask the '******' himself; I dunno. He's running a turbo and N02 now. Maybe he was in-between mods. LOL! I get these comments every time I post this pic. I was just trying to show that a H22a isn't the size of a Cummins diesel like most ppl think...
