All right guys, after all the research and asking questions over and over and over again, it's finally in there. Took about an hour and a half to pull the old engine, and about 5 hours to get this one in. Here's the old D16z6:

Here's the new H22!!

Kinda blurry, but you get the idea:


I'd like to send a HUUUUUGE thanks to Rando (ZC_CRX), and Demo for doing 98% of the work and helping me so much. I owe you guys. And another big thanks to Poison, Jason Kidd, JDMH22HATCH, and all the other H22 EG guys here on H-T for being a great reference source!! There's still a couple things I'm waiting on, such as the new radiator/fan, but I'll definately let you guys know how the first drive goes!!

Looks good bro! Bout time you posted on HT about it

 

Its a huge pet peave of mine when people spend thousands of dollars on a expensive motor and cant spend 3$ on some degreaser to clean up the engine bay and firewall.. You dont know how nice it is to work on your car when everything is clean.. Not NEAR the amount of dirty hands all week etc..

Motor looks GREAT !!! I'm sure she'll really rip.. Throw some bolt ons and spray it and she'll run like a raped ape..

 

Awesome, I'm glad you finally got it in there. Good job.

 

I was more than happy to do the swap for you! We got to get it to the track this weekend. I want to see what that baby will put down for a time.

 

Looks good...can't wait to get my swap done this summer.

That's just a Type S manifold. I sprayed it with some high temp paint, shined it up a lil, ya know?

 

Man, that's a clean-*** wiring harness you got on there, *wink*

Suprdave

 

Good job

BTW, Is that APC I see on your window?

 

You fuel line looks all screwed up to me. Id use a different line or pick up a 90-93 accord fuel rail so that the line attaches on the left instead of the right. Besides that you should clean up that nasty ****. The cleaner it is the faster it goes. Oh im also bored and feel like self promoting so heres a pic of my old H22 swap if you need any ideas.

Lol, nah. APG. It's the name of my friends shop.
Suprdave- Thaks for the harness. A couple things had to be extended, but all in all it was a lot easier with it. And don't worry guys, it's getting cleaned today. I'll get more pics up as soon as I scan them.

 

Nice job bro! JdMDXTurd!! HEY dude what's up? You can use a 90 accord fuel rail for these? Wow, I may have to do that. Having some fuel line troubles! Cool job. Nice job on the header. It looks aftermarket JDM yo

 

geeze when i first got my h22a swap , hardly anyone had h22a civics, now there is a ton
looking good though

 

Congrats Upstate glad to see things are coming together for you. Dont forget to get some of the more important parts as well such as rear sway bar and upgraded suspension.. And dont worry I am getting a ECU soon so I will take a trip up there and see the car in person. And probably also look about getting my cage installed..

 

where are you in upstate NY? I'm in upstate too!

Don't worry, I got the suspension covered. Use to Auto-x so the sway bars, rotors, etc. are all updated. Let me know when you're coming up or whatever.
EK22TIM- I'm right in between Albany and Utica. Where you at?

Yes you can, I'm using the 90-91 Accord fuel rail.

 

Cool, I'm on the lookout for a 90 accord fuel rail! Just saw one go through the local Pick-a-part about 4 mos ago too!! That's where I got my int. shaft.
Anyway, I'm in the Elmira/Corning area. That's pretty cool, albany's like a 4 hr drive I think? Are you going to Carlisle to the show? I'll be showing, but not judged, just parked in the field. Too many daily driver dents, dings, and paint issues to compete with the trailer queens!

 

nice swap

 

Looks great. Can't wait for mine to get here.......

 

Looks good. Congrats on the swap. How do you like it?

Man the h22 civics are taking over this hybrid forum.

 

Nice! What ECU and harness are you using?
