sup guys this will be the 3rd crx im gonna be building. my buddy is hooking me up with a 97 h22 block for 50 bucks and were gonna build it with mild parts. we can do all the cutting, welding and everything, but i just wana know if its worth it. money really isnt a problem im just curious wether i should do this or build a b16 or something instead. give me some feed back.

 

if your dedicated.

make sure to get the axles lined up properly.

also H22's hang low in EF's and sit high hehe its scary as ****.

 

go for the B18C

 

**** it just do the dam thing!

 

yea... its great for straight line only. the extra weight really screws your handling

Did you just say the h22 is 150 to 200lbs heavier than a b series?

If you use an H series block/head and use the H to B adapter plate, it is MAX, 50 lbs heavier.

Back on topic: Go for the H-series. Take the road less traveled.

 

get the Duce Duce

 

k20 is easier.. and newer. and more expensive..go k20

 

my buddy put a h22 in his ef an ran 12.5 at 107 with a stock h22 it dyno'ed at 178 144 torque.

 

go H22 my roomate has a e.g. w/ astock h22 w/ type s cams. its pretty nice he pulled a 13.6 on cheaters and basic bolt-ons

 

If you've got the money do it. Just make sure to put a B-Series tranny on it. Otherwise, an ITR swap would be the ****.

 

you're right i dont have a clue but my b16 crx has never lost to an H22 on a road course

 

thanks for the replys guys, ive been doing some research and so far i need a h22 a1 head to go with this block. since im rebuilding if this is right do i need to sleve it? money is not a problem but i dont wana go ***** to the wall. im not doing this for a drag car or a road course, so far the pros and cons of it all, it seems worth it.

i rode in a buddy's 95 coupe with an h22 that was stock and loved it. so i think iim going with the "duce duce" haha. im gonna start a list soon once i get all the info i need and search some more about parts.

Yeah and... Whats your point, drivers make a huge difference in road courses. Plus how many crx or hatches have h22 that road race ?

Ok back on the h22 swap subject.

Its getting easier and easier to do this swap, wait a little and you will see some mount kits for this swap very very soon.

 

Just my complete honest opinion.

For a DD I would think an EG chasis would be better for the taller H motors and K motors. I've never driven in an H powered eg or ef nor a k powered ef or eg so I'm just speculating. However, if I were to build another car, I would love to go K20a EG (probably search for a 92 cx shell)

The hasport H22 handled very well so handling is an issue that can be overcome in an EF.

For a track car, I don't think it really matters b/c comfort and convience are of little concern. Just build within your budget............heck, no matter what, build within your budget. I don't think I can stresst that enough.

 

you are supposed to set a budget?

damn! i knew i got something wrong

 

well yea i kind of got a budget, b/c im not gonna get a loan for this. im gonna be moving out soon so i'll be staying home alot, so i can do this thing. plus i don't wana do a k20 or something with an eg there all over where i live. i know people do crx with DD but this is somehting i wana do, and really getting excited about it.

i just got done taking the crank out, and gettin it ready for an acid dip. now i gotta find a head and im gonna buy some other small parts like oil cap, and cams.

i guess i need to get a digi cam for all this when i start...eh

You bet!!! I love to see photo albums of build ups, especially when everything is a DIY job.

 

go for it. my buddy did it and its alot of fun
