I've been browsing here for quite a while, just thought I would share my Hybrid thread with those of the EG community that don't venture over there often

Thanks for looking!

Crazy.

 

Nice

 

I'm really interested to see how this car turns out, I've seen a B series into an Integra but never an H series into the a Sol.

 

That's sweet, but you better corner weight the car properly so you can turn well.

 

This may be a stupid question.. But how is the exhaust going to work? Obviously the exhaust manifold is pointed towards the front of the car, are you going to get it bent around and out through the rear?

 

And what are you using for springs to support that extra weight in the back?

Yeah, I'm curious about that as well. Hopefully he'll post up and answer all of our questions. This is going to be a great project.

 

Ground control Coilovers on all four corners. 12kg/mm rear, and 8kg/mm at the front

Thanks for your comments! The build is going well, I just wish there were more hours in a day!

How about the exhaust how are you going to do that?

 

PUT ONE IN THE FRONT

If you noticed, he did not flip the engine around 180 degrees when he put it in the rear. It was just moved back. The exhaust will work the same except it will be shorter obviously.

 

This has been done before but not the way you did it. You basically took the front end of the civic and put it in the back to mount the motor, very clever.

The guy that did this before on this site made custom everything. I bet his kicking himself now for not thinking of this, lol. Still very nice both of you. Why is it always H22's though? ehh

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm really eager to see the timeslips on this beat.

 

Your skill level and ingenuity is what I strive to achieve.

I thought I remember seeing a video of somebody else who did this.

That's sick. Keep us updated

Exhaust is going to be a bit tricky, I have over foot of room to work with between the engine and the frame. More than likely it will be side exit exhaust.

Thanks for the questions!

Dude, Andy.. You're swapping a K20 into an EH2, you're lookin' good to me.

That's what I was thinking because to me it seems there would be a clearance issue with the frame.

Thanks for the compliments!

Cody's (Tinker219) Del Sol is now owned by Dan (rawkus), and it was very much a prototype. I remember when researching rear engine swaps coming across his project and wondering why he didnt use the entire front clip; but with most projects I've found out that we use what he have and what we know. Tubing turned out great for him, and I bet it is quite a bit stronger than unibody.

Why H22s? Personal preference for me. I've owned preludes since I was 15 and was impressed with the H series motors.

 

I love your project, I've been following it for a long time.
