So your doing a wire tuck? If you want to clean it up a bit patch the little holes in the bay so It wont look like swiss cheese.

thanks.... but please stop talking like that i had to reread your post three times to understand it.

honstly i wouldnt put an H22 in a civic, their made for accords and preludes, plus you gotta ahve alot of custom **** (by custom i mean you cant just go to the store and buy it) drop a b16 or b18 in it, less bs then the H/F motors... why do you think im sellin my accord? i dont like the extra bull **** they put in the motor and hydro trannys suck *****, ive been driving this car for 3 years and even now when i race or shift faster i miss 3rd cables suck in my buddys gsr i never miss a gear and im shifter hella faster .. stay with what the civics suposed to have B/D non of that H/F **** honstly youll be happier

You type like a retard, and if you wanted to be diffrent buying a Honda was your first mistake. There is no swap you can really do to be diffrent.

h22 civics ftw theres nothing super complex about swapping an h into a civic, doing a k-series is harder so do ks not belong?
it is more time consuming and involved than a b-series swap however but in the end the extra power is worth it

no cause you can do an h2b and have a linkage trans.. its just the extra bull **** that the h/fs got, b series is simpler its more practial easier for getting parts and cheaper i mean if your all about the h go for it i just dont like it, especially if you decide to boost cause youll make the same numbers with the same mods but youll spend less on the b (cause of the parts) just my opinion

parts are typically harder to come by for the h-series thats true, but the motors are the same price if not cheaper and offer much more power and torque

yes.... but once turbod then it really doesnt matter its all $$$ at that point youll make better power safer with the same money spent on the B over the H... dont get me wrong the H22 is a GREAT motor awsome torque but as soon as whip factory introducd me to the B ive been in love (as well as my buddy when he pickd up a gsr)

Theres too many ****** on here bitching about how they cant read this guys typing. You can't understand it? That makes me think YOU'RE the retard. Stop bitching about how someone is typing, thats not the point of this topic. You want some lessons too?

"heres a thought... want something different.f22 block,h22 head. research that, then go to school and learn to spell dammit....... "

You didn't put a " ' " after the e on here's. You didn't caps the starting letter to each sentence. You did not put a space after your " . " or " , "

and, in the sentence "and learn to spell dammit........" ... You spelled Dammit wrong. Good one.


u don no wut the *** i is sayin? Then shoot yourself for you seriously are a moron.
