it's a 92' CX hatchback with D16Z6.....not a bad little car. The tranny is F'ed up, but i'll be pulling all that out shortly in favor of the H22.

OH yea, i only paid 2,000 for it and it's in great condition. Also he included the CX motor and some other parts. P/S pump and resevoir and some other crap,


later

the h22 is a huge motor. You'll need to change the motor mounts etc. Good swap for POWER, but not good for turning and suck, let's hope you drag race!

 

congrats on the new hatch...hmmmmm....i don't know if i'd go H22 on that hatch...like b16a2 said...the motor is not balanced for a hatch chassis. you'll need custom engine mounts to make the swap work...good luck on the new project though...

 

Congrats on the car find, and just do some searches about the H22A here - it's not what everyone says it is in many ways.

 

yea go h22

 

Hrm... I don't think so!



Now, compare that 'huge' H22A installation to the OEM Gen 7 CiViC/RSX:

 

Does that H22 have a BOV and a header? Doesn't look like a turbo manifold to me.

 

something seems really wrong with this picture...theres a BOV but its got a header and no turbo???

 

good eyes...

 

That BOV is on the intake pipe.

 

Bwahahahahahaha! This happens every time I post that pic!!!

That's LJ's show car in transition. It's turbo'ed with nitrous now.

Thanks, bros, for not disappointing!

 

Oops! Scratch that! It seems that LJ went back to n/a again. Here's the latest incarnation:

better watch out the majority of ppl here will probably call that rice.

then again because you posted it they'll probably take the "that is mad tite y0" approach.

 

Call it whatever you like. His 'ricer' wins every show it's in. Ppl get very uspet when they hear LJ's car is coming. They know they don't have a chance...

 

that car is wack, its been the same for like 3-4 years, youd think hed change it up

 

back to the TOPIC!

hey congrats on your new-to-you Honda

and yeah the H22 is a serious motor, should be wicked fast, there area bunch of nutters trying that setup now, it seems like it can be pretty competitive even on a circuit course.

 

What's that thing on the front window?

 

That's not an equal comparison.

The engine bay from front to back measurements on the seventh generation Civic is much smaller than the fifth or sixth generation. The MacPherson Strut suspension they chose allowed a much more compact engine bay (not that I'm happy about that, I'm not, I much prefer the fifth and sixth generation suspension).

Measurements of the engines from front to back are a much better comparison than how they look in an engine bay.

What does LJ run in the 1/4 mile in that car?
Does he even race that car?
Wait! Does he even drive that car.
Sorry man, but thats the reason I don't really like car shows. His car was ugly 3 years ago and its just as ugly today the only difference is that its "dated" now.

 

that car is ugly imo

but it does have go

 

Yeah, his car is pretty lame now...but back when that thing was in style, everyone jocked that thing. I always thought it was sick..but hey, tastes change. If he's unwilling to flow with the JDM boat.. good for him

What really bothers me about him though..the last few times I've seen him at a show, I see a big fat intercooler. I think, "Oh cool, he turbo'd his H22." But then I'm let down pretty quick when I see the DC header and crappy intake. Oh well, his money.

 

Yeah it *may* have go but if it never goes then whats the point.

 

The point is, a H22A swap into a pre-'Global Compact Platform' CiViC leaves much more room than ppl think; indeed, more than the 'new' CiViC/D-series and RSX/K-series combinations.

 

H22 with milled head and some big cams all the way yo. 200whp watch out.

 

Just out of curiosity, why do you think it keeps winning every show it's entered in?
