anything will work that you want to fit... now if your talking about doing something that doesn't require customer mounting/fabrication/etc... H22 is not for you

eBay. No LSD means you're probably spinning a tire trying to get power to the ground. LSD means you're probably moving.

teamintegra.net or google search it and you'll find alot. if u are buying an engine/tranny set up, u might wanna look into the rsx type r motor/tranny. it comes with lsd, and a bad *** motor. the k20z3 is gonna cost u about 7 g's for motor and tranny. u are looking to spend a lot of money and u might wanna just go back to the dealer and get an SI. already has a k series along with the suspension and interior that is just plain and simple awesome. all up to u and how much time/effort/money u are looking to drop

Made me chuckle this morning.

LSD = Limited Slip Differential = good stuff for cornering too!

I hate to sound "mean" but if you don't know what LSD is and you're asking about an H22 swap into an 06 civic... you don't know much do you?

just wait another 6 months and skunk2 , comptec , and buddy club will all have cams , gears and a head package, and within a year there will be a few companies doing stroker kits

plus right now if you got i/h/e you can now get a kpro relash? with spend all that money for a type-s engine and maybe 5 hp

plus even if you did the various rsx/tsx hybrid swap, that is

a. alot o work
b. alot of money
c. you need the right tune to get it to work

be patient the new "z" has many good things comming
