H22 is a bad choice for a CRX. I would suggest a B16 it's an easy swap and has huge aftermarket support.

Hey Spank102, try this link.. http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/tech/4gtech.html
I agree with Marc-OS, the h22 isn't a good idea for a swap. It is possible but it is a LOT of motor for that car. It depends on what he is looking for tho. Speed costs money, how fast do u want to go?
Good Luck

H22 is probably only good for a drag car. Try a b series motor or a ZC or Sohc Vtec. All of these motors are good and each have a different level of difficulty and amount of money to complete the swap.

Performance

No formal time tests have been made yet, but owner estimates 0-60 in about 2-2.5 seconds, 1/4 mile at 9.25 and 160 mph on about 1000 HP. It handles perfectly straight up to 130 mph - top speed so far. This car does NOT sit in the garage and look pretty. It drives around town and looks "surprisingly normal." That is, until the rear engine is fired up...

Well, it's still front wheel drive... and rear wheel drive

H22 = heartache. A waste of time

I will agree with everyone. The H22 is a bad choice for a CRX. It's too heavy. Go with a easy motor like the B16 which is lighter and has more aftermarket support like Marc-OS said. Later down the road you can even turbo it and still have alot of power from it.

why even go with a motor swap when you could just rebuild your motor and put a turbo/supercharger on it?
