Im looking to carry out a h22 conversion over the next couple of years.
I am slowly sourcing parts as and when I can afford them, and I have my eyes on a Crossmember made by jimfab, the thing I am confused by is do the radius arms connect to the crossmember? It looks like the Xmember on jimfab comes with radius arms, so I wont need both? or are the radius arms a different ball game all together.

Thanks in advance

 

bump!

 

i'm not sure exactly waht you mean, but the crossmebers use different radius rods that have heim joints in them.

 

You may want to look into a Full-Race or similiar designed crossmember if you want the H22 header to clear all the way. The JimFab had a flaw with just the JDM 4-1 on B-Series, so a similar header for the H-Series is doomed.

 

Thanks for the replies.

No header for me, im going to go turbo once its sitting in there but thats a while off. However you've bought up a good point, I will be getting the block built up then starting the engine N/A just to see if it runs (unless I can start it without a header at all? Im sure I read something about it being bad for the engine

Am I able to start the H22 with the crossmember removed and the car jacked up? will it vibrate of the jacks or anything crazy like that? The car wont be going anywhere, just has to start off the Stock ECU as a test. I shall then add the turbo and some kind of EMS, probably looking at OMEX

Back to my original question, so the radius arms are connected to the crossmember but have a hiem joint as you say, I guess this is what makes them adjustable?
When purchasing a crossmember i.e. the jimfab one is there a need to buy seperate radius arms?

Thanks guys
