MYTH.
It's not much different than heaviest B-series.

Use the search engine.
There 3 or 4 people with them on this board.

The worst parts of the swap seem to be the H22 tranny and axle fitment.
That's been overcome with a custom adaptor plate so you can use a B-series tranny and bolt it to the H motor.
Search... search search.

You make it sound like super drastic and it's not that much at all.
I think you have been misinformed or the H22 just looks big to you.

It's about 60 pounds more than a B18C.
Put the battery in the back of the car and throw on a CF hood if 60 pounds scares you that much.

IT has been done many times. If you are scared about weight. Get the adapter plate. You use a B series linkage, ans axles and tranny. Saves weight and time. Better gear ration.. better 1.4 times

So are you still selling the plate ? If so are you gonna at least answer a few questions or just totally ignore people.

The plates are in production right now, there will be tech support VIA email for any questions and a long write up with everything I can think of as far questions and installing would go. The price has been dropped due to volume of making the plates.

It's not a nightmare like everyone thinks. We used axles from raxles, stage 2, because we run slicks and ****. We have the same coilovers on it when we had our ls in it. It hooks up like a ***** at the track. The two we have done run perfect, so if you try it, it'll be worth it.
