why would anyone wanna do that they cost too much
they might be 200hp@7200rpm / 145 ft.Lbs.@6600rpms
11.0 comp
they still have an optional LSD just like the Type S

H22A is better with more ft.Lbs.

I don't think anyone did it yet

The whole point of doing a motor swap (maybe it's just my opinion, but I'm sure others will agree) is to get more power. I don't think the swap has been done due to how much it would cost and because the POWER gains wouldn't be much. Too much money just to be pimp IMHO.

But like I said, anything is possible with the right amount of money.

I agree i wouldn't trust Osaka...thats a diff thing

They don't make any AM parts for it too then it would be regreded by that person.

Well its the best engine to go for if you wanna be different. then again installation would cost as much as H22 will...

thats just MO

my bad....., you dont NEED custom ones , a lot of people use 90-93 integra axles and the 90-93 accord shaft........... but yeah custom ones would be better if you are running any good power..... still cheaper than a type r engine

yes it has been done. 2000 accord sir-t motor. i have done the swap in one of our street eg civic hatchbacks. its runs very strong with one of our ecus and a fpr. the car weighs 2,200 lbs and runs 12.40s @106mph without optimal traction 1.732 60 foots. not bad still.

F20B is the bomb. You can use many parts from the H22A (Skunk2 StageII Camshafts for example) in the F20B. Reason why F20B would be good in a Civic is for the horsepower. You can rev the engine much higher than an H22A, past 8000RPM confidently. It makes the power more in the high RPM range, which allows you to take advantage of gearing.
