I've searched a good bit and am having a little bit of trouble finding out what all is involved in swapping an f22b into my 99 ek.

I originally was planning on building a turbo jdm vtec single slammer but extra displacement is really starting to win me over, especially both of the swaps being around the same price. From what I hear the block is pretty stout right out of the box.

Basically wondering what mounts, ecu, wiring and shift linkage is involved.

Anyone who has had experience with this swap, please feel free to post or even shoot me a link with some more info.

 

Are you planning on using an f/h series tranny or "h2b"?

 

I guess that all depends.

i know bisimoto makes an adaptor plate to use a d or b series tranny on the h or f series motors.

I really dont want to cut anything on the car unless i completely have to.

more than likely i'm going to swap the f22 in with the stock tranny and boost it.

then, funds pending, ill do either a b or d series tranny.

 

the easiest way is a full h/f mount kit through hasport or any other reputable mount manufacturer, and axles through hasport. shifter box you will have to mount "under" the center console, and drill holes in the firewall for the shifter cables. what model ek? it will make a difference as far as wiring.

 

99 DX hatchback.

Could I use a chipped p28 and a hondata?

your sig kicks *** btw.

 

haha. thanks. You will need to "graft" the f22 alternator harness portion into the dx harness, convert to two wire iacv, possibly extend intake air temp plug, run vtec wiring, and if you use a ecu with a knock board, you will need to wire the knock sensor. Also, if you use the stock intake manifold, you will need an ecu that can control the iab, or "half-***" it and plug the vacuum to the iab.

 

this all pertains to the jdm f22b dohc non vtec? i'm just really torn between building a jdm dohc f series or a usdm sohc f series.

I'm going to turbo whichever i get, but out of the box the smarter decision to me is the jdm dohc f22b.

160hp and 147 lb ft are beautiful numbers right out of the box, a gt35r and a few other goodies should take care of those long *** gears.

...and as far as tuning goes i dunno what the hell i'm gonna do.

 

I have Hasport mounts if you decide to go F/H complete. They allow for a direct bolt-in application, no cutting of the tranny side mount. This is how it sat in my 99 hatch with a H22/23



Let me know if you are interested.

 

ya right you just wanted to ***** pics of your engine bay.

nice setup btw, and how much are you looking to get for those mounts? I definately need a set.

 

​​​​Will it fit in a 00 Ek sedan?

I'm in need of sum help on doing a f22 sohc swap in a 00 Ek Civic Sedan lx if anyone who has done one or knows anyone who has done one or have experience on how to do the swap Please lmk thanks!!!

 

Instead of bumping a really old not very helpful thread, you might want to ask in the Hybrid section.

The hybrid section is specifically about putting non stock motors into your chassis i.e. an f series into an EK.
