is it worth the trouble to install a H22 in an EK. and is it possible to keep the power steering and AC at all?

 

yes yes and yes. highly unlikely to keep power steering though, you would need to modify the radiator support and hood, i would just remove it, the car feels much better w/o it anyway.

as for a/c there is an a/c bracket now by HCP. and yes it's very much worth it.

how can you deny 14's on completely stock platform for $2400 +/-

 

it's only 14's with an H22? that's not quite as good as i expected. my brother's EG - b18c1 hybrid goes low 14's all day long...what's the point of having an h22 instead of a b18 if you're getting the same times and more weight? the extra torque must not be doing much if you can't beat a b18 hybrid in a straight line stock for stock...correct me if i'm wrong, poison, i'm asking, not flaming

 

Uh, I've never seen a B18c1 hybrid run low 14's. Maybe with I/H/E and slicks with stripped interior. But not STOCK MOTOR, street tires, and full interior?...

Plus, with a few bolt on's, and a pair of slicks, you can expect mid to low 13's easily.

 

my boy has a b18c1 in his 89 CRX (not stripped)with an intake and drag nittos and he get high to mid 13's all day

my point exactly. where is he doing the low 14's all day long.

if he is doing 14's all day long bone stock, then h22 civic will be in the 13's no problem.

 

hence cr-x, now what if you threw an h22 in there
he'd be 12's by far. 'nuff said

but b18c cr-x is very nice.

as for b18c eg doing 14's bone stock, i'd have to see this to believe it.
h22 beats B series in straight drag, they come close, but h22 seems to keep taking it. as for auto-xing, B series owns.

 

I've heard of h22's doing 13;s all day long and stock.

 

yep so have i.
