Iam thinking about swapping in an h22a1 (92-95) in my 00 civic. For the money they say its the best bet. what do you guys think,need some opinions..

 

Do it. At least you're thinking H, rather than K. Also visit the Hybrid section of HT.

 

also, buy my sleeved high comp NA H22A1 ill throw in free rods (3 of 4), pistons (good cond), and a new crank.

 

Don't mess with the H22A1 if you're going to do a swap. Look into a JDM H22A and mind your local emissions standards.

 

why dont mess with the h22a1?

 

You'll find a lot of them are high mileage junk out of wrecked cars. And they are inferior to the H22A. 10.0:1 vs 10.6:1 compression.

 

i was planning on getting one from hmotorsonline.com with only 35k miles on it.

 

go with jdm h22a man you wont regret it

 

ur talking about the h22a1 right? can u link me one?
this is the one i was planning on getting,tell me what you think. VVVVVV

Get one from Japanesestarmotor.com. Its free shipping! Can't beat that. I got both my JDM H22A($900.00) & T2T4 LSD($900.00) Trans with free shipping to my door. Very good customer service IMO. Go all out with an Euro R tranny; you won't regret man.

 

get the 96 jdm h22a and i dont recommend the m2a4 trani i have it right now its ok but the gear ratios are a little werid

 

Plus, I heard 5th & Reverse are very common to go out since they're one unit. So if 5th is shot then reverse will go out as well.

 

Well you seem to be a smart guy.

 

iam going to get the h22a motor from hmotorsonline.com i hear nothing but good stuff from them and their motors, iam going to change the tranny later in the future to a b-series tranny

thanks for the opinions guys.appreciate it.

 

If you want i know someone locally (in canada) that is selling the COMPLETE swap for $2000 obo. That is Canadian currency, meaning even after shipping it will probably cost you about $2100ish US dollars.

sorry yo,i would feel alot better ikf its from a legit site.

 

Glad to hear you're using this: I plan to keep it much more aggressively up-to-date than has been the case in the past, but don't hesitate to let me know if you find errors or need clarifications.

 

+1 on hmo, just did the swap and the engine was in so great of condition people passing through my dad's shop thought that it was brand new and freshly assembled from the factory. NirVTEC, we're in FL where we don't have those emission laws, there aren't even decibel level laws for things like exhaust systems. FL>CA

 

u guys wouldn't know how fast an h22a in an 00 civic coupe would go 0-60? would you?

 

The only thing I really have to add is that you need to mind the ground clearance for your exhaust system. IIRC, the collector will rest real close to the ground, so you might want to think about that in regards to the condition of the roads in your area.

 

wrong

 

Just make sure to upgrade your front suspension at the very least to accommodate the extra weight.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think someone did a "/weight argument" thread a while back and IIRC, there really is only about 40lbs difference between the 2 motors minus accessories due to different variations on your bolt-ons like the intake and exhaust manifolds etc. I don't really see making this another weight argument over 40lbs.

 

co-signed.....not that upgrading your suspension is bad.

 

But it's better to stiffen the suspension to accomodate this weight difference. I swapped H22A7 to my friend's civic and he forgot to upgrade the rear suspension and he was chasing Mazda RX8 and on the bump the rear jumped and the car turned around and flew out of the street. The car rolled over twice and killed a cow
