Well I am generally a Civic owner, my current being a 93 Si hatch. I love it but the lower ball joint popped out, stripped the threads out and dropped the nut. The wheel went up through the fender and I'm honestly tired of dealing with the car. So I am buying a GSR shell tomorrow, and putting in my H23 DOHC VTEC swap in the Teg. I am thinking about putting up a post and updating with pics on a regular basis. Anyone interested?

I would be.

 

Paying for the teg today, probably picking it up tomorrow.

 

subscribed. post pics and details

 

Well I picked it up yesterday. First time driving with a trailer. 95 GSR, 110k miles. JDM Red. I'm pulling the engine tomorrow to give back to the guy that I bought it from. $900 shell. Ugly multispoke chrome rims reminiscent of a Chrysler Sebring. Ugly altezza tail lights. And missing the carpet. But other than that, it's all there. And it's all mine. I'm so excited!

 

ok a few ?'s why an h23? and also why an h23? lol

 

h23.... i wouldn't do it man! why not just a do a simple drop in, like a ls or gsr?

 

dont forget to put a b16 tranny. H2b's are quick cars

 

subscribed. good luck with the h23 swap

 

Yeah, man, do it. I'll be watching.

 

Well the lower ball joint in my Civ popped and it ruined the car. The car had so many swaps in in that the chassis wiring harness was so difficult to work with. I had the engine in there and running beautifully. But I couldn't see RPM's, or any CEL's. I already have everything to do the swap and the knowledge to do it. The only thing that will be different will be the outer axle joints, using GSR ones to keep ABS. I have the full swap just ready to drop as soon as I pull the old engine. The low end torque of the H is beautiful, and I got a great deal on the Euro R engine. Mated to my USDM OBD1 H22A1 trans, it works out well.

 

ok nevermind its an H23 vtec euro r ok im an ***

 

Not a problem at all. Like I said, I'm open to input. All, unneccesary and criticism is welcome.

 

go with a b20 turbo will love it believe me

 

Now the B20 turbo is nice, my roommate had it in a EK hatch, but we pulled the engine drunk and threw in a GSR. Point being, I don't have a B20, nor a B trans, nor turbo kit.

 

Well engine is getting pulled tomorrow.

 

isn't the euro r still a h22, no h23 was vtec

 

I'm VERY interested in this swap. Go for it!

 

The Euro R is actually pretty cool, it was a couple which came with a F20B. The wagon form, with a H23A. DOHC VTEC 2.3l. It's essentially a P13 head, on a 2.3l bottom end. So in reality, a H23 did come VTEC form as OEM.

 

got the beater... total POS, 1990 Civic hatch, 5 speed with a DOHC blacktop ZC. I may turbo it....

 

Sounds great... Post some pics mang!
busted civic, beater, Euro R, Ricer starting point etc.!
This has potential to be a great thread, just needs pics.

 

I'm working on it. This is all budget, bear in mind. My camera, as well as my JVC head unit are both in the pawn.... LOL

 

Good luck. Keep us posted!

 

ok so wait your putting the euro r into a hb or a teg?

 

Well the Euro R is coming out of the EG hatch and going into my DC. I got a white EF to beat around in until everything is good and running. Starting pulling the swap, and it's been in a front end accident. The headlights were held together with some nasty trash glue **** and look like hell. Fortunately, one of my ex roommates left a set! I also went to the pawn today, but closed. Pics soon, I promise!
