JDM H22A in an EG Civic Hatch??
Hey I searched for this topic and could not find so here goes. I have a friend who was going to swap an H22 into his CRX, but a guy at a local tuning shop said the motor would be way too heavy for the car. With the understanding that more displacement means more weight, is it a good choice for a swap? Im not familiar with the weight of the CRX but surely the Civic weighs more.I dont know whether the weight would be too much or not. I priced one at total-boost for $3700.00 while a B18C was $4400.00. Has anyone done this swap or know of someone who has? If anyone could give me any info, or point me to some, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thanks |

Overall, if you feel like you could have the patience to go with a harder swap, then I would definately go with a H22 because they are very powerful motors n/a or boosted. P.S. If I said anything incredibly wrong or spelled anything incredibly wrong, please feel free to correct me because I'm to tired to search back through and correct anything. |

Definently a good swap. My friend swapped it in his 95 4dr last winter and the thing halls. I don't see why it would be a problem getting it into a CRX even; it's been done before. But of course you'd have to get a lot of custom work to get it to fit in the engine bay. Definently get better springs. My friend is getting adjustable shocks because the rear of the car pulls down too much when he launches and shifts gears (when he's racing) i believe but not positive; and hurts his 1/4 mile time. And if you plan on a turbo make sure you've got the closed deck block, I've heard that it's a bad idea to turbo the open deck ones.
Links: http://h22hybrid.20m.com/ Very informative site on the whole site. http://www.h22a.org Go to the forums area and there is a lot of information and quite a few people who have done the swap. |

Re: Re: JDM H22A in an EG Civic Hatch??
Thanks for the info. I had a feeling that total boost was a little high. Im glad to hear that the weight is not a big issue. Ill keep stiffer springs in mind when I get to doing it.
Thanks again |
