just wondering if anyone here has ever carried a motor inside the car
im buying a 93 hatch and about a few miles from that is a motor that im buying, think it is possible to carry the full swap inside the car? i was thinking take out the passanger seat put it in the back?
oh and the motor is a h22

 

u on crack... lol

 

haha, my friend had his h22 in his room and was like "ya, dude it's in my room wanna see it?"

later on he carried out his h22a block and showed me it -- crazy kid hehe

and to answer ur question, get a flat bed and tie it down or call a buddy up with a truck

LOL. It is "possible".

(Anyone wanna post a link to the NSX CRX?

I would put it in the hatch though, not the front... I can see it now...take a right turn too fast and end up w/ a H22 in your lap.. You wont be worried about HP then, you'll be more concerned w/ weight reduction...

I've done it a few times before with B series engines. The engine and trans were NOT connected though. I removed the front passengers seat in my hatch and secured it to the floor (incase of a mid-turn rollover). The trans and other items went in the rear hatch area.
I'd still rather use a pickup though...

 

did it with a ls motor, had the trans stil connected too

 

i saw someone leave a junkyard once in an old civic hb with 3 guys in the car and what looked like a v6 poking out the half open hatch, the tires where bairly handling it...

I carried 2 trannies in the back of my htbk before does that count =P

 

i had done it in the passenger side seat area. complete swap.

 

lol...maybe if the motor was taken apart...just to be on the safe side

 

thanks guys, i wont have a truck cause im buy the car and motor in cali then driving back to idaho

 

if i can fit my girl in there, then a h22 should be a piece of cake

 

i picked up my buddies b20 from the shop. just took out my passenger seat..long block fit fine

 

Here you have a JDM vti D15B vtec in a EU VTI B18 5 door, part lether seats etc.

After I did my B20 swap I was bringing home my B16 block an the back of my gutted '87 Si hatch and we had it wrapped up in trash bags. Well it fell over and needless to say the bags didnt hold the oil. It went all over the back and under my carpet up front. It sucked Ill never do that again.

 

It's very possible. I carried a B16 Block in my EK, I had 2 12"s at the time too.

 

I've done it on like 10 occasions... carrying motors around town in the hatchy..Like someone said, just take out the front seat and put it there...hold it with your right hand for short distances..lol..use lots of rags on the floor...tranny goes in the trunk..

 

yea , you can do it. But , it will be a b1tch to take out

 

how much does a complte h22 weigh?

 

I one had a b18 in my 92 cx hatch, drove it from kentucky to new orleans. The fron of my car wanted to lift off the ground, lol. It really wasn't bad, i had stock suspension and stock tires, and the extra weight made my car handle like ***. The biggest problem is that no matter how I tied it up, it scratched the **** out of my rear interior trim. And also everytime I had to accelerate hard, like merging, the motor would slap the rear hatch door. It wasn't really worth it till I had gotten home.

-my experience, it can be done.

 

hahaha

good point

 

Just don't get into an accident...Cops will be like ummm, WTF did you hit?? You gots and engine in front and back?!?

 

i did a b 16 in my passenger spot
and b16 in the trunk

 

Nope, but I carried my ITR tranny in the back of my hatch.

 

seen an h22 in the front seat of an accord it was at a shop the guy had everythign but ran out of money to have the motor installed so for a while they left it inside the car
