Hey guys...I'm contemplating the swap and wanted to know how far down the oil pan and header would be. The reason I ask is because i usually slam the hell outta my cars and this one is no exception (tuck 15")!!!
Anyone have any pics or advice??!? If it's comes down too far I'll just put in my b16....

Thanks, Adam

 

DONT GET A H22. I have a H22 EG hatch and the oil pan and header are sitting very low so in order to not have issues I have the car about 3 inches off the ground. Just get a B16 or some B series if your gonna slam it.

 

If you're referring to the stock header and oil pan, they come down pretty far down. I am dropped roughly 2.5" and have no issues scrapping (of course being "cautious" to where I drive).

However, if you plan on "tucking" 15" wheels, you will most definitely have header/oil pan clearance issues.

Why would you want to slam rides that low anyway?

If you plan on doing that, I don't recommend swapping an H22. Your axles will have a lot more stress being angled excessive, causing vibrations and various other issues.

 

^it's just my preferance bro...
thanks for the help!

 

What do you mean exactly cause im saving up for an h22 swap in my eg hatch but originally wanted to boost a b16...
