Default best platform for an H22 swap?

the simple fact is i like both models(EG or EK), and i am having hard time choosing between the 2. (im not asking which car the site likes better)
i simply asked was which is the better platform for the swap.
i asked this because honda performance is kinda new to me, and i have read about axles rubbing, and breaking in the EG, where as i have read nothing about the EK.
i dont participate in shows or auto racing at any level, becaue its not my desire. this is a hobby for me, nothing more. maybe i should have asked in the hybrid section.

like the saying goes "if there is nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all"
but this is a free country, and you have your freedoms. just extend the same courtesy that you would want for your self.

i have been reading through this site for the past 30 days, and i am very familiar with the search feature. i just recently registered, so i can ask a few questions. i an see now it was a mistake.



if u dont knw u better ask somebody

I've done H22 swaps in EG and EK, both hatch and coupe. I would say go with a 92-95 coupe if you want a sleeper, because everybody wants hatches and they seem to be getting hard to find, at least in my area. The H22 engines are very torquey, however, I still prefer a nice B-series engine, because of the shifting alone. If you choose a 92-5 car definitely go with the HASPORT mounts, the Place racing ones don't fit worth ****. For 96- I've used only Place. I have used these on 4 EK's now, and fitment is pretty good. The only drawback is how close the engine sits by the driver's side shock tower, make sure the car has not been wrecked in that area. Anyway, just my .02....e-mail me if you have any questions.

You want some advice?
Use the search feature and try to just read other peoples posts, generaly you will find what you are looking for.
You post up some really stupid **** like
Which hatch would be the best plat form for the h22 swap? an EG, or an EK?
What the hell are we supposed to know what you want to do with this magical hatch? auto-x? drag race? what?
Tell you what next time next time I will call the psychic hotline and ask miss cleo what you want to do with this hatch.
Heres some more advice be more descriptive when posting, it will get you alot farther and make you look alot less ignorant.

People need to start doing what they want and not always asking what is "cool" to do or which car is best...

For speed, a 92-95 is lighter...
So, there you go...

Honestly that would have made a much better initial post.

I'd say Prelude! or Accord either one will suffice.
