Hey, I'm getting a '97 cx hatch, and I want to drap a H22 in it. (I currently have a '93 si hatch /w a b18c and a dragIII kit,all self-installed) I'm planning on taking off the turbo kit and putting it on my h22-civic... I figure a new exhaust manifold and some piping and I'll be set.)

I need all the info on this swap that I can get (6th gen cx /w h22). Is it basically the same as a 5thgen h22 swap once I do the obdI conversion? The only mount kit I can find is the hcp one (ek-22), and I've heard bad things abou them... I also want to do the OBDI conversion.... (not a problem legally here in colorado) and the wiring harness where the ecu hooks up is already butchered to hell (form the previoud owner), so I was hoping I could just locate some obdI plugs and solder them in place of the obdII ones (the plugs that directly plug in to the ecu, that is). Will the H22 wiring harness (as long as I get a LHD one) plug right into the firewall-harness? Could I use the one on the engine in the CX now? (its acutally home to a d16z6 right now) Can I use the h22 engine harness if I get a USDM motor?

Can you tell me about which ecu to run? I've heard that you'll have to hook up some resistor box with certiain ecu's. How about a good mount kit? Axles (does it depend on the mount kit for some reason)? Hooking up the shift linkage assembly (it's a cable linkage and a hydro tranny, right?)

Any info on this swap at all would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am doing the exact same thing in a 98 CX! I've never done it before so it should be interesting.
Place racing makes a mount kit and they also make the axles you'll need.

really? I called them today and they said they didn't make a kit for a 6th gen civic /w a h22

 

place racing makes a kit for the h22 into the 6th gen chassis. It fits pretty nice. You will lose ac and powersteering. Hardest part is wiring, just male sure you get a obd2 swap, it will make life so much easier. Use the civic harness and put it on the h22a, adding wires where needed. also you need to cut out the floor for the cable shifter to clear. axles you need to get custom.
