thinkin about a swap???

[rollingsuicide]

i have a 92 integra and was thinkin about getting a h22a and was wondering if it would be hard to put in. if any could tell me??

[pikkagtr]

why in hell would you want an h22 in your teg?
please tell me you have researched a little more into b-series swap
im thinking you have an LS/GS/RS right, well the best engine to swap in is the b18c5, but not everyone can find/afford one so i'd say go for a b18c or even a b16a
h22s are too heavy and should be left to ludes and accords

Dude, he wants that Amagine ENGINE on a light CAR....who can say no to 190-200 155-160 Torque??? H22 is not a bad swapp but I would need to agree with "Pikkagtr" h22 r better off on Lude's and Accord's....but If u really wanted to swap a h22 it probally would take more time and harder work then a b16, GSR,Type R motor's...

The easiest and most affordable swap would be the b16a2 from a JDM integra. it has 170hp and 116ft/lb. It's a cable tranny, and it's an obd1(same as yours). they go for about $1,500. That's what I might do in the future.

the only reason i want it is because my dad owns a garage so i could have it put in for free. but if it would be hard to put in i dont wanna wait for him to find time to work on it everyday. so if someone could just answer the question instead of mocking me that would be great.

rollin'....alright ur answer from me is "Go for it" it will probally cost u a bit more and a lil more time but it shouldn't take too long depending on how fast ur dad work's on swapping engine's and how many people R helping him....but It SURE WOULD BE LESS EXPENSIVE and EASIER if it was a B-Serie's VTEC Motor...but from what I C having a h22 on a ligher car isn't a bad idea heck I think ur better off then stock GSR's and maybe as good as a Type R TEG...(MAYBE) then again u'll again probally a couple of 100 pounds at MOST cause of the bigger heavier engine but u could always toss ur back seats BUT U COULD NEVER TURN a 1.8 into 2.2 MAD HP..TORQUE MACHINE!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
then again these R JUST MY THOUGHT'S...

don't waste ur time with the h22 swap, too much of a headache and is mainly good for strips due to the added weight from the motor.

please tell me is there a reason why u want a swap? honestly, getting a new motor for the simple fact of performance to me is not worth it unless the h22, but u know how i feel about that motor.
think about it, u spend atleast 1,500 to 3000 for a b16 not to mention the price for installation and parts and all u get is an extra 30 hp, but u lose some torque? come on now thats ridiculous. if its was up to me, just get a compresion and leak down test to see how well ur motor is then just get a turbo kit. a $2500 turbo kit will blow those other engines away, period.
