Hey guys,
I have a 97 Honda Civic DX 2 Door, it has a D16Y7 block and a auto trans, getting ready to drop tons of cash into it and i need your help. Buying the H22A just the motor, What am i going to need to swap out the transmission and what ECU will i need and what will i have to Add to it if the H22A came from a standard trans.

 

Make life easier and go to HMO, http://www.hmotorsonline.com and get the complete h22 change over.

save yourself $250, just get the engine, ecu, & tranny. or better yet use that money for lsd upgrade. you cant use the axles, they need to be custom anyway. and you can go to a local junkyard for the shifter assembly/cables and should be cheaper than $250 (if you swap to manual). for what other parts you need you should probably ask in the correct forum, https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=1 , you'll get better answers and they know more than ef'ers. here's a link to a thread on the h22 swap:

and good luck on the swap.

Then an H22A swap is NOT for you. It is the most challenging swap there is...

If your a noob to Honda's, do NOT do it. Trust me. Boost a D or ZC. It will be just as fast and easier. Plus you''l learn the basisc's along the way. I'm doing that as I speak...

 

i would say take tippyman's advice if you are a noob to auto mechanics, if you have expeirience with other manufacturs just read a hell of alot about what you plan to do. get the serive manuals for both your vehical and the one from where your new engine comes from. if you dont have expirence with mechanics, find someone who is. preferably someone whos done hybrid swaps or honda swaps. get all the parts ahead of time, then make sure you dont need anything else. replace all gaskets you can think of, ask a hell of alot of questions, or better yet search for the answers. have another car to drive while your car is out of service. everyone has to start somewhere, but chosing one of the hardest swaps out there may not be the best for you. any b-series would be easier. you may want to try and find a b18c1 or b20/ls engine to swap first. mabey once you have more expierance try a vtec head swap. price range and hp output would be about the same with minor bold ons, with less wieght.

the 99-2000 cluster is very possible, there is even a few threads about it. here's the good one:
