it can be done but it will be mainly a drag car, with all the weihgt in the front it will be tuff to autoX. I have even seen H22s and H23s in 1st gen crx's. As for suspension I would get a good set of Koni's and some nice coil overs.

 

it would be mainly for drag, have fun trying to turn......just get B20VTEC.

b20 vtec....I dont think Id ever put that much weight in an ef. I just did a B18b swap and I can tell the difference...I can only imagine adding a bunch more weight...I dont think it would be a daily driver.

i have an h22a in an 89 si hatch right now and it is a daily driver......i am selling the engine or whole car though because i am getting a motorcycle for the summer and building a turbo hatch of somekind

what kind of mounts are you using?

 

I have heard that you need to bang out your firewall a little bit, so no fan blower, you'll have to take all that out, plus your gonna have to do a lot of fabrication..
its expensive, your better off going with a crvtec setup with pistons and rods, gsr head, lsd tranny.. yadayadayada

h22 is a big motor, also you will have to raise your car back up to stock height to clear the oil pan

good luck

 

i have custom welded mounts........you may have to move things but you definitly dont need it to stock height my car is really low and i only scraped the oil pan once when i hit a big pot hole.... i wasnt looking carefully enough but it happened,.......dont listen to people who dont have the swap its a great car that pulls very hard go for it

 

Yeah, I wouldn't listen to anybody here unless they've actually done the swap. Everybodies like "understeer this" and "stright line" that, but really, I don't think it would be as bad as everyone says. When people talk about the problems from the swap, 90% of the time it's from heresay only. If you got the flow then go for it!

 

Is there is a real bad problem with the steering? I like my LS a lot and whould never try a H22 in my ED. But I have a friend who is wantting to try it. SO I would like to know.

 

I'm actually also doing a H22 swap into my EF, but I'm using it for drag, so.. steering won't be an issue for me.. Got some pics.

Hope this helps.

 

esp169.. any problems with the crossmembers?.... and also does it bang on the hood at all.. or does it clear with the stock hood?

thanx

 

the crossmemeber was in when i got the car and i have had no prblems with it and the engine does clear the stock hood

 

Hey ESP169.. What times did you run with the setup? I just can't remember.

 

do any of you have the hasport weld-in mounts if so were they hard to install?

 

its best time was 12.6

 

that thing looks crazy fast man.. hmm.. whats all done to it.?

 

95 Prelude DOHC VTEC H22A1 motor setup w/55K miles, Portflown head w/high rev valve springs and Ti retainers, Type S cams, STR cam gears, Apex S-AFC, modified ECU, Integra OBD 1 harness, hydrolic clutch setup

 

how much will you sell the engine with the mount set-up for???

 

3300

 

whats up with that passenger side mount, it dosent look very rigid, also do you have to cut anything in the engine bay?

 

its just as strong as the other side you just can't see because the intake is blocking it.....there is a few spots on the side cut and re-welded to make room also a hole cut to let the cai down for air

 

damn i wish i had the money i would jump on that deal in a heart beat, why dont you go to h22a.com and advertise it i'm sure it would sell.
