ok here is the deal me and my friend both have 92-95 cx hatches
bone stock mine weighed in at 2120, and 2080 with no back seats/spare
then i put the h22a into it and it weighs 2280 with no back/spare but with more gas and a full NOS bottle
my buddy has a 92 cx that has a b16a no back seat/spare with 3/4 tank of gas it weighed 2140, that is only 20 pounds more than mine wieghed stock, WTF?
now mine did have a/c before the swap but not any more, where the hell is all the extra weight? i know the h22a doesnt weight that much more

 

any ideas?

 

Wrong!

 

94 cx's weigh more than the 92's..

well his car with b16a weighs 20 more pounds than my car stock!!!!
damn i should of got a 92

 

i'm pretty sure the differnce in years shouldnt be a issue, but if it came with ac its prolly a little heavier...

on the other hand....... a cx with h22 will always weigh heavier then a cx with b16 when the chassis weighted the same to begine with......

The '94-'95 CX is 14 lbs heaver than a '92-'93 CX, due to extra chassis strengthing and other safety stuff (pass. air bag, etc.). However an H22 is going to be much heavier than a B16, it's just a bigger motor all around.
Damn I never think my Si hatch is heavy until I compare it to a CX! But, I had to have a sunroof!

 

i know my h22a CX is gonna be heavier than a b16a CX, but what im saying is his car with the b16 is only 20 pounds more than my car was stock

 

One of the reason that the 94-95 is heavier is because they have Dual Airbags in the 94-95 model years. There are some other differences too, but I am not gonna list all that ****. Do a search and B18C5-EH2 has done a post on here where it tells the exact weight of everything on the 92-95 civic hatches.

 

What kind of wheels and tires were used on each car for the weigh-in?

 

on mine 96 gsr wheels, on his del sol 5 spokes 14 inch
