H22a in a civic EG

[[SDCTVE]]

would a H22a fit comfortably in a civic EG??? how much work is involved?

[CivicOnBoost]

Why would you bother? It will fit but why use a H series when you could use a K series for not too much additional cost and end up with a much quicker car...

nah...H22 costs a lot less than a K20...i think H22 costs less than $5k installed while K20 is at least $7-8k engine only, labour about $2k...someone correct me on this pls...:)

while each has their own advantages, each engine also has their own problems....with H22 u have to prepare to lose ur aircon and i also heard some people had to take off or relocate their power steering unit, while K20's problem would be the low engine position in the engine bay....u might have scrapings on headers....that's the main concern other than price....but someone else might be able to help more....;)

i guess for further info, ask EG5 at JDMYard, their eg is fitted with K20:thumbsup:

edit: seductive you were too quick, was referring to sydsyds post being about right

i take it theres less work involved with a 4th gen lude! does anyone know how much money is involved to drop it in a lude

and what work is involved?

p.s i already have the engine

[Sydsyd]

i'd say labour costs around $1-2k...and about the things that need to be done, check the thread above

i already posted up common engine conversions for EG in the civic section.
