-THE ENGINE ... H22A TURBO WITH B SERIES TRANSMISSION (H2B SWAP)
I will talk about the motor build briefly here so you can understand the pictures . I scrap built the block of the H22 from o.30 styrene sheet , i used the b series block for measurements , i just made the block a little higher and just a smidge wider , the H22 is bigger than a b series . For the valve cover i just measured the top of the block, cut 3 of the same pieces from the styrene , basic shape rectangle . After glue set , i added one small rectangle tube shape styrene for spark plug cover . i then sanded, cut , filed, the valve cover to look like the 1:1 scale .... random pieces i used from the revell b series were : the timing cover ; alternator ; pulley ; oil pan ; transmission ; distributor ; vtec soleniod ; throttle body ;----- intake manifold was scratch build... turbo manifold i used some solder i had laying around , turbo was from revell toyota supra kit , i had a small turbo laying around ,idk from what kit, i used that as a compressor for the turbo ....... intercooler was made from a 57 chevy cameo radiator .... thats it for the swap for now.....
- here i have the basic shape of the block , and the basic shape of the valve cover. The vlave cover I will shape up to tru form later.
-put it next to a b series to compare
-some more work done on the block..
-I shaped up the valve cover hope you guys can see it
- my reference picture of the h22 is in the background
-here i added the distributor , vtec soleniod, and oil cap.... dizzy and solenoid i took off the b series valve cover and placed them as it would be on the 1:1 scale.....
-intake manifold** i was going for a racing manifold look, i'll try to google it to get the 1:1 scale info.... made of 0.30 styrene sheet and straight pieces froma the sprue tree of any model kit, throttle body i cut off a b series intake manifold i had laying around
-- block primered then painted....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** test fitted h22 swap in the coupe....looking realy good perfect fit....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- tested my luck on making a turbo manifold from solder....
-orginally was going to use this turbo but it was to big...
-painted turbo manifold, turbo, compressor, added the "dohc vtec" on valve cover.....
-here it is next to the engine i took out the coupe,i painted some things on it tooo i was bored, and some other b series motors....
-- intercooler
- I started the intercooler off with a radiator from the 57 chevy cameo pick up model
- i trimmed it from the top down to size i needed, then made the tanks from 0.30 styrene sheet
- i primered only the tanks, here is a test fit .....
see where im going with this...
