i prolly gonna get a hatchback soon a 92-95 one and was wondering what's better. the usdm h22 v-tec or the usdm gs-r engine? i want it for drag racing. later i want to turbo it. one more question if i put a 96 gs-r engine and tranny can i fit a greddy street legal turbo kit in the hatch with the motor swap? the reason im pickin that turbo is cause i want to be street legal and not hassle with smog problems. thanks

 

JDM H22A. It's that simple!

 

for drag h22 is a good choice; since you want it steet legal you will most likely be driving it around as well --- the lighter b18 engine (though still heavier than 1.6l honda engines) will create a car that handles much much better. The weight of the h22 over the front wheels throws off steering while turning/under pressure.


i'm nearly positive that there's enough room in the eg w/b18c1 for a greddy turbo. I have that set up and you could practically stand in the space b/n the motor and the bumper. If there is A/C will probably have to remove it. It takes up a lot of space in that front area.

search for the answer to this. just type "h22 vs b18" or something similar. this has been covered a milliion times. very sensitive subject.

yes it will fit. this is a very common setup.

no problem

 

I prefer the b18c1 over the h22. Not that there is anything inherently wrong/bad with an h22 setup in a light hatch.

But I prefer searching most of all.

 

H22, check my sig!

 

H22....its about 35lbs more than B-series (weighing just the block and tranny weight) search and you'll see

LOL...you beat me to it !

 

i have a 92 civic cx. will the b18c bolt right into my stock motor mounts?

 

h22 is ******* quick, its 5th gear just amazes me. Floor it at 80 in 5th gear and youll be up at 130 in no time. This thing is a top end BEAST. Make sure you have the money and time to do the wiring right, get good mounts and get custom axles.

i love going fast

 

I know this has been beaten to death but with h22 into 6th gen civics how low can the car be lowered with 17s?

 

well if you take the wheels off it might just reach the ground
