H22 or no?

[Furinax13]

I have come across the chance to get a full h22 swap im pretty sure its type sh or somthin but i know its a vtec one and it has the tranny motor mounts everything for a full swap i could get it for 500 dollers its legit from very good friend who needs to get rid of now is what im asking is should i buy that or wait and spend like 3500 on a gsr swap im planning on doing to an 89 crx dx

[BiGwiLLswiLLy]

its a lot of work to get that motor in a 4th gen but if it is a sh like u said then that will be quick

Alright thanks, now I don't have to work nearly everyday of summer to buy a gsr swap.

Can anyone point me in right direction for a good adapter plate for the b series tranny to work with h series engine?

And possibly if anyone knows can you use regular b series mount kit if you use the b series tranny and adapter plate with the h22a? Because i did alot of searching and a few people said you can.

You need to read up on the SH engine and a thing called ATTS. And I doubt you can use a b-series mount kit with the b-series trany. They were probably talking about using the B-series trany mount from a kit.

[Furinax13]

No I read alot about it theres an adaptor plate for the b series tranny to h series motor. A few people on honda tech were making them i guess but I searched and found no results except for people saying to use an adaptor plate because its much easier.

[CivicSpoon]

It has nothing to do with the adapter plate, it has to do with compatability issues with any transmission other than the SH (or Euro R). Part of the actual block is different, to work with the ATTS.

Like I care I have entire summer to complete it and its 500 dollers for full swap kit who could turn that down?

[livinincalifornia]

well it just sounds to me like you're going to run into a lot of compatibility problems with it and you might be better off with a more standard swap. whatever you want to do.

I'm assuming you know this but I just want to make sure. $500 isn't going to cover all the parts you need to do the swap. But I wish you luck man, I'd love to see some pics when you're done with it. I'm sure it will be bad ass.

I know its alot more than $500 for the full swap but im getting a deal from a friend because he decided it was too hard
