ight guys i was thinkin about this about how vdub guys have the vr6 n we got this 3.0L vtec 6cyl into an eg let me know if its been done b4. I know it would cost alot but im up for puttin down money on it. So lemme know wat u guys think hit me up wit some links if u got ne thx appreciated.

ps. i searched n didnt find n e thin

 

There is an EG w/ a legend motor floating around for sale on ebay.

 

ight thats kool thx 4 the info but if n e 1 got ne pics or any info on the swap lemme know

 

well are you talking about the 2.7L out of the legend or are you talking about the Gen 1, NSX, with the 3L V6??? because ive seen vary few legend power civics but ive seen more of the NSX powered civics, Belive it or not, but from what ive heird the NSX motors (the C30), is easyer to put in, though it would still be custom and all...

 

no im talkin bout the 3.0L v6 vtec that comes in the 3.0cl

 

hmmm..thats a pretty big engine....im thinking...even if u get it to fit....the angles of the axles and stuff will be all messed up....and it would never run 100%

 

that is true but wit some good mesurements and fabriction im sure it can be done and running nicely

 

Why? If it's for "originality" then ok I guess have fun. But if it's for performance, an H22 will make as much if not more power, has better aftermarket support, and can be swapped in much more easily and cheaply.

 

h22 civic will wax a Vr6 A2, A3,A4 vw golf all day and night...... h22, 2 less cylinders, less didsplacement, and way more power

 

ya off the line but on the highway the h22 would get shilacked believe me ive seen it

 

that is untrue.. mine seems to have no problem keeping up with and passing cars that are "supposed'' to be fast.

stock vr6 swap vs stock h22 swap.... h22 will win for everything. Autocross, drag race, top speed, street race.

Actaully an H22 swapped civic should do the best from a roll becuase it doesn't have to get traction. From a stop is where high-hp, light weight FWD cars are the worst.

 

either way that things a v6... think of it this way

a 4banger accord owns a v6 accord... so.. a 4 banger h22.. vs a 3l v6? im pretty sure that v6 would get owned

if you want to tow some **** go for the v6 lol... if u wanna be fast go for something else.. originality.. well sure a v6 in a civic is tight, but a b8 would be better

 

check out the new hondatuning magazine clean ek with a v6 swap

 

you do realize that this thread was back in 2005, im pretty sure everyone on here knows now (4 years later) that hasport makes the mounts to do this swap and more and more are being done

 

Yeah everyone is this thread is hilarious. H22 will smoke a V6 eh?

HASport has been making mounts for over a year and a lot of people are having a lot of success. Bad axle angles? Sure they're not 100% straight through, but the engine is backed up as close to the steering rack as possible. Not to mention the need to maintain some descent ground clearance.

Educate yourselves before you make ridiculous comments and unsubstantiated remarks .

Bring your H22 in your EG and I'll take you to lunch with this. 230 lb/ft just above idle.

If you're talking about the J30, then yes the H22 is a better choice. However, enter the realm of the J32 and you better change your thinking.

These engines have some serious potential and respond to bolt ons with ridiculous success. The best H22 stats (JDM) are as follows... 223 HP 163 lb/ft

My J32, which by the way is not the top of the line as far as J32's go, has the following... 270 HP 232 lb/ft

As far as price and amount of work is concerned, they are comparable. You still need to buy mounts for the H22, use a different shifter, we-wire the car, use a different ECU, use custom axles. The J32 also comes with a 6 Spd trans, a lot of which are LSD. I'm not knocking the H22, it's a great engine, but know your facts before you make comments.

 

Dude I just wanna ride on a j powered civic lol I have a h2b n I think it's amazing can't imagine a j series

 

well DUH!!!.... a lot changes in 5 yrs... but an H22 in an EG is still a very potent swap... I'd do it again, but would probably go H2B this time
