How did you get a H22 in a 90 chasis?

relocated the mounts and rewelded them, put an s2000 pulley on it so it's thinner(clears the wall by this much I--I) and other common stuff like changing the axles and rewiring it to obd1, and removing ac and powersteering. also the forks that hold the struts that the driveshaft goes through have been redone to make it wider but it still grinds against the driveshaft on U-turns.... and cut whatever part of the frame you need to cut to get out of the way like the headlight housings and hood.... and of course converting it to cable..... but everyone has thier own way of doing that.....

no, it actually clears the wall by this much I-I.

my chassis is holding up good with the extra bars that were put in to strengthen the frame and i've got integra tokico struts and integra skunk2 coilovers supporting the suspension as well.... it rides really smooth.

Frostee - Theres a new company coming out with these h22 mounts for 2nd gen rex and 4th gen civics. The local shop told me about it. He said NO CUTTING or WELDING involved! Just str8 drop in! I was thinkin about doin h22 before but i said fuck it i'm just gonna do a "poor" mans type r set up.

Think you can get a turbo in there? :apoke: Even if you could I bet it would just break everything (Including the chassis) from just the extra weaght alone...

hmm.... no cutting?? i dunno about that in a 4th gen.... i guess it's probably possible, well it has to be since they say so.... but them mounts must run like 6-700 or so huh??
there's nothing poor about doing a type R setup, the thing's got about 30 more horses than my motor and it's lighter too.... i get spanked by them type R swapped civics.... only thing is that you cant smog a type R motor here in cali.... but if i was in a state where smogging cars didnt exist, i'd choose the type R motor over the h22. Im trying to smog my car through the referee so i can legalize this motor in this car and get that sticker for it incase i get pulled over and they bust out w/ a "under the hood inspection."

The reason they call it a "poor" mans type r is this... for an example. I have a b16 already in my ride. So what i want to do is i want to get type r block and just slap my b16 head on it How fast u run in a 1/4 mile? You should be hittin mid 13s stock?

[frostee]

hmmm.... i dunno about turbo, the thought of it does sound nice and the power it'd produce would sound even better but i dont know if it'd fit in there though..... i jus took this picture of it right now just to post it to see if you all thought it'll fit or not..... from the head to the front frame there i have about 14-16 inches.... so i'm gonna need some really short turbo exhaust manifolds that curve slightly to the right so the turbo doesnt hit the radiator....
about track times.... i dunno.... i dont think it'd be in the 13s... i dunno maybe very low 14s i would calculate.... maybe i would dip into the high 13s if i put headers and an exhaust on....

i am about to do a b18a swap into my dx, as soon as the guy ships me those motor mounts
