new hatch

[streetrex]

yeah, quick question. which model hatchback is best to buy concerning lighter weight and what not. I'm planning on doing a gsr swap, and i want something newer then a 97 but not brand new. I'm planning on spending 7000-8000 on the car itself. thanks

is it possible to get a gsr motor in a 96- hatch????? i can only find stuff for the h22 swap..

Best HB is the 88-91. Lightest and is probably the most nimble. If you want something newer than a 97, well you only have one choice then, the 96-00 hatch so what does it really matter? And yes, it is possible to get a GSR motor into any hatch 88-00.

yeah sweet i just found place racing motor mounts for it. do you know much about the wiring harnesses you need or where you can find a parts list of shit you need?

www.hmotorsonline.com

everything you need for the complete swap is included in the price.

[streetrex]

everything?? the mounts, harnesses..etc? Which year motor?

[GScivic7]

i mean EVERYTHING. You'll have to ask them what year the motors are. Shouldn't matter unless you have emissions laws where you live.

94-97 "complete change over" hmm that must be it huh. ok, and the stock mounts will bolt right into the existing mount in the civic engine bay?

i believe so, but you might wanna replace the bushings with urethane ones while the motor is out.

its easier to swap a gsr (b18c1) then a h22. you can use your stock harness with some wiring mods too.
