the h22 isnt that from a crv? dam !
jeremydawg
12-04-2011, 09:10 PM
^na your thinking b20! H22 red top aka "type s" is out of a 5th gen prelude which only came out in Japan, 162kw! oh and its also known as "Euro-R" which was in the Japanese 6th gen Accord...someone correct me if im wrong. :)
There are many possibilities, time for some research. yaya!

I also sold my rex for a honda. I wad a fwd nazi but the dc2r completely changed that. Ive owned a couple turbos bit nothing compares to a raw b-series honda. Very interested in watching ur progress, make sure u put it in build threads

im a huge fan of both honda and subaru - they are both amazing fun and great to work on
the honda will probably be easier and more linear to build and handle better - but the subaru will always have the best all round performance
nothing beats the sound of a B series on high cam tho =)
welcome to the club - also dont throw out that D15 straight away - if its EFI than theres a few cheap tricks u can do to it to make it a fun drive =p

13-04-2011, 01:03 AM
well this site is a bible to a honda fan and this forum is the best ive been on with that being said what else can i do with the d15 i was just going to give it away for a couple packets of smokes so saint what can be done to it ? why do i have a feeling im going to blow it up before i swap it lol :P naaaww i wont have time to do anything i am so eager to get that raw from the b series will post pics friday or saturday :P i want sleeper look but i do want inside to impress theres not going to be a cyber kit :( i was thinking allso the dash revs are up to 8k and i want atleast 9k revs have you known anyone to install a s2k dash in a crx i know it sounds wild but im just throwing it out there dont gun me down hey lol

Damn thats a clean crx! looks so good, and when it has a b18cr in it...my gosh it will be epic! I always loved the interior of crx's, especially the seats
i have owned a 01 sti 05 sti and spent absurd amounts of hard earned
Heh... If you thought you were spending too much money before on FI, wait until you find out how much you're going to spend on NA. NA is the worst value ever; dump in lots of cash, get next to nothing back. At least with FI there is some form of bang per buck with results to show for it.
Not being negative, just giving you a heads up. I thought I understood this quite well before I got a Honda but clearly I underestimated the magnitude of the costs involved when I did get one. Definite head****.
Anyway enjoy the response, the best part of NA!

Ivan from Hi Power racing told me something like an NA car should be able to keep up with a FI car making one and a half times the power.

Hahaha man I love your attitude!
You'll have to put up woth us, most of us on here arnt too familiar with boost.
But it's true what mate, I can vouch for it. N/A owns, the response and feel is amazing. Your going to love you CRX + B18c setup I can garuntee it!
Although You could have gone a step further and gone K20 or 24... Now that would be a monster...
ruffnready2
27-04-2011, 11:46 PM
well man i just came back from toda today me and my brother went over the whole master plan with adrian so i am having the engine swap done within a couple weeks :P i will put up a link for the dyno recording on youtube as for boost nothing wrong with boost when its running right i spent way to much on it but boost is a climate sensative b@#$#% and people spend alot of money compensating for heat etc...
some idiot was on here saying you gotta spend 20k for 60kw that may be true but when you factor in the weight etc you come out on top less load less probs but you cant tell people you got to let em make there own road lol i spent 12yrs with FI im glad to be with honda now :P
u mad?
28-04-2011, 03:25 AM
lmao, im the idiot? you're the one trying to say that NA is good bang for buck..
Anyway, enjoy the car, im sure it'll be great fun with the b18 in there.

well 5points for putting your hand up ! >=/
TheSaint
02-05-2011, 12:39 AM
it goes both ways really - generally n/a is more expensive to get the same numbers as turbo - but more simple, cheaper and easier to build for the average jo
you can spend thousands on any car really - at the end of the day if you are chasing numbers than you are better off with a bigger engine, turbo and RWD/AWD to handle the power output
honda is more of a refined balance - it costs more to get the same sort of killawasps as a larger car and its difficult to put the power down on the front wheels
but you balance the power, feel, response - with better handling, nicer interior, and a better sense of achievement for making something out of nothing
its nice to be the underdog and chomp large cars in the corners - and people always double take when they hear vtec =)
enjoy!!

ruffnready2
02-05-2011, 10:04 AM
i am @ such a cross road all these quotes are driving me nuts maybe i should just throw in a k20 or k24 but i want the drivablilty of the b18 but the cost is the same as if i put in a k20
or k24 this is very fustraiting as alot of hidden extras its not as simple as just a engine swap as the crx i have wasnt vtec
disapointed @ quote from toda have been to few work shops but all they care about is the money and figures where as i am trying to build a master piece !!!
jeremydawg
02-05-2011, 10:53 AM
It is a hard desicion! theres too many possibilities. hang on, b18 conversion cost as much as k20?? the quotes you were getting was that just for a drop in b18 conversion?
ruffnready2
02-05-2011, 10:56 AM
yeah the quote was just for b18 and box drop in and all the other bits and pieces you need to do it comes out allmost the same minus the diffrent costs in the motor!!
jeremydawg
02-05-2011, 11:22 AM
ah i see. well your looking at an extra 5k for a k20, for the engine +tranny alone its around 7.5k. there would be other things to consider if going k20. i doubt it would cost the same as b18, not only would the engine cost more but the conversion would be much more expensive...correct me if im wrong.
you have already bought the b18 aye? around what price are you looking at to get it dropped in?
ruffnready2
02-05-2011, 11:38 AM
well your right about cost give or take a few grand but when doin so much work the question begs to be asked why not k20 or k24 anyway the cost from toda was 8k i went and seen charlie out at yennora and for same coin he would do alot more such as brakes aircon but the down side is he needs the car for alot longer i am thinking which way to go atm
Vvvtec
02-05-2011, 11:42 AM
K24 would be an awesome conversion to see in a CRX. Yonas @ JDMyard is selling them for $1000 each... You'll obviously still have to sort out all of the rest like gearbox etc.
ruffnready2
02-05-2011, 12:06 PM

Yeah man, I can understand...
Oh well, no pain no gain aye ;)
jeremydawg
02-05-2011, 12:40 PM
maybe get a jdm h22 without tranny for around 1.5k, b16 tranny for 1k, trany conversion kit 1k, 2k for other stuff 2k labour maybe. thats around 8k for a h2b!! would be way faster than a b18. jdm h22 is 147kw +b16 tranny, youd love it
Vvvtec
02-05-2011, 01:10 PM
Fitting a H22a into a crx would be hell lol
B18c is a superior motor anyway.
K20 or 24 > B18c > Hseries
jeremydawg
02-05-2011, 02:55 PM
would still be easier than a k20.

Yo Saint,
I wish you had some DOHC vtec fr yourself man... I'd love to see what you'd do with it.
i had a 94 Dc2 VTIR that i converted to 96 spec ITR back in the day
it got written off tho so im back to the civic - my family wont let me get another B-series lawl
looks like im moving on to a STI Forester - boost + paddocks = fun
Vvvtec
03-05-2011, 11:33 AM
96 ITR spec? What did you do to it?
TheSaint
03-05-2011, 11:35 AM
i have driven pretty much every honda engine available in mostly EK/EG/Dc
and i personally prefer the B18c over the H22
the H22 does have more initial torque and not a bad vtec setup
and overall it has more potential peak power - but owning a honda doesnt really put that at the top of the goals list
the B18c always has more response and a more usable power-band
it has alot more aftermarket support and is easier to find OEM parts for
the K20a is a nice engine but still pretty pricey
and i think a B-series is a definate way to go for a first time honda owner
nothing beats the crossover sound of a B16b or B18c2
than again the best car i ever drove was a del sol with a JDM B18cR in it
TheSaint
03-05-2011, 11:37 AM
96 ITR spec? What did you do to it?
up specced everything as much as i could to get it close to the JDM 96 spec ITR
did the full body kit - ITR front lip on pre-facelift front bar (more usdm style than jdm), OEM optional skirts, etc
got cams + intake kit and mugen catback, specced up the swaybars to 96 spec
didnt get to finish it off before it got written off tho

What the heck? Paying to have your motor removed? It would work out 10x cheaper to pull it out yourself and just have car towed to the shop!

exciting news to hear it really is Ruff.
I remember all my friends rollin in the big dogg cars
(Supras, 180sx with s14 engine coversion, 300sx, GTIR. ) not really big dog but alot bigger than a CRX hahaha
And they couldnt understand the need for H symbol cars(Honda) and in more particular the X. aka CRX.
As for KRX (Kswap CRX;s) there is a total of 4x road cars in Aus and 1 physco time attack car.
Its a good way of thinkin to do a conversion but then to swap to the K24 will still cost u alot as its gonna cost double unless of course u can make back the money from the sale of the b18 motor and bits..
kSWAP will still require the following.
Engine mounts
Driveshafts
Alternator relocation kit to keep things below the fender line.
ECU
Kswap headers
Bonnet seeing as you have the AUDM front end
More commonly thou things like
brake upgrade, battery relocation, fuel pump upgrade will help with any conversion regardless if its B or K.
Any question on the Kswap in an ED AUSDM same as yours.
