no response in hybrid forum.... I've been thinking about swapping an h22 into my 1995 civic 4 door i've heard new suspension is a good idea....ne suggestions or other stuff i may want to put on to make this a great swap...thanks

 

Some good mounts

Some strong axles (www.driveshaftshop.com)

Some good tires/wheels

 

is new suspension a must???

 

um suspension should be your first order of business on any swap. So should brake upgrades.

 

new suspension, 4 wheel disc big brakes, put H22 in a dumpster and buy a GSR motor with a B16 head.

 

turbo b18b 10psi u can smoke anything! well close to it.

 

i dotn wanna go turbo now i am working with a limited amount of cash and wanna go very fast but stay N/A

 

 

what kind of suspension and brake upgrades would u fellas suggest...remember my pockets are not that deep

 

could go with a gsr brake swap, but i have heard stock calipers are ok, but bigger slotted rotors and better pads are ok, and upgraded shoes for the discs in the back...... buuuuuuuuuuuut im not sure

 

See if you can find the suspension off a wrecked 99-00 SI. You could take the rear suspension off that, master cylinder, and brake porportioning valve. That should be sufficent for the time being... you can do a fastbrakes front brake upgrade at a later time if you feel the need. The Koni Yellow shock is a good shock for the money IMO. H&R springs, or Neuspeed race are good springs. Good luck!

 

what times would you expect to get with that b18c w/ 10 lbs of boost? in a 5th gen hatch

 

up ne more suggestions or places online where I should get this stuff from... if anyone knows what price range i am looking at to prepare for this that'd be nice...thanks

 

yeah this **** is starting to **** me off, the kid asked for prep work on an h22a. h22a turbo can kill it. *sigh*

 

the topic = prep work for h22, also hence he asked about swapping an h22 what other things he should do...didn't say anything about other motor suggestions.


as for upgrades, good rims/tires, strong axles (yes, strong) from driveshaftshop.com, good mounts, upgrade brakes, and put integra performance springs in there, and you'll be set.

 

thanks guys u've been very helpful

 

hey, he hasn't made the mistake of putting an H22 in his car yet. if he is staying naturally aspirated, he should use a GSR bottom end with a B16 head. that is the route he should take, considering that that chassis was designed for a B series motor and he can use other stock honda parts for the swap, axles, shift linkage, ecu. all plug and play.

 

and how exactly is putting an h22 in a civic a mistake?

h22 is king in both n/a and fi fields in hard core racing, who wouldn't want the best.

yes b series motors are good as well
