H22a in a EK civic

[Spoon-Accord]

hello ladies and gentlemen

just wondering.. what i need to get a H22a running in a Ek hatch.

atm, top of my head..

motor
gearbox.
loom
ecu
mounts
driveshafts..

have i missed out anything there?

[barefootbonzai]

shifter and cables, that should be it. You'll have to make a hybrid harness for your car. I'm putting one in an EG atm.

[Spoon-Accord]

hybrid harness? meaning hacking the stock wiring with the new h22a one?

[Zdster]

Dont forget fluids :thumbsup:.

[sinisterd]

would u also need engine mounts?

[Spoon-Accord]

yeh.. just wondering who i should by it from

can't use the stock mounts can you/

just jumped on hasport to check them out. they are 549US
and 400US for the driveshafts/axles..

anyone here get H22a mount kit?

[sinisterd]

One of the traders on this forum i saw is selling them,

JDMYARD or sumphin,

have a look see

Let me know how it goes if u decide to go ahead with it,

ppl tell me the h22 in a ek ruins the steering and makes teh car quite "front" heavy,

personally id put it in a 4 door sedan civic :) least then its got purpose, hehe carrying all those ppl around

[Spoon-Accord]

i heard that too..

50 kilos.. big whoop. just upgrade the front sussy abit more :D

[defect]

I heard its all how you set up your suspension?

[Zdster]

i heard that too..

50 kilos.. big whoop. just upgrade the front sussy abit more :D

JDMYard deals Hasport stuff.

[Spoon-Accord]

yeh i just checked it out..

these mounts aint cheap is it..

so.. much... $$$$

[barefootbonzai]

playing with cars isn't cheap full stop.

with the harness, yes you'll have to chop and change the harness to fit. Will be quite hard to find the harness needed to modify for an ek.

[Civic Type R]

If you do it you will throw out the cars geometry. It will still drive well but the extra weight in the front will make turning a little harder. Straightline is fine.
Check with the pits first to see the legal ramifications of going from 1600cc to 2200cc. I have a feeling you will be fine anyways as they have recently altered thier engine change laws.

[Jarkz]

I used HCP Engineering mounts from the states. Don't know if they do a set for an EK though?

You forgot about your brakes dude.

[Spoon-Accord]

yeh brakes will be upgraded too
thats one of my main priorities atm.

hcp mounts.. let me look intro it.

alot of the mounts from the state are cheap
but the shipping is like 250 bux!!

i was like :S

shattered..

[JohnnyVtec]

;) You might wish to use this time to acquire yourself a H2B kit?


Hope this helps, :thumbsup:

[Spoon-Accord]

what is a H2b kit?

please help!

[EG CIVIC]

H2B Kit = A kit to allow you to use a B series gearbox on the H series motor.

[Spoon-Accord]

i wonder where u can get this from

[haiz]

So Kenny is this going into Kim's ek?

[Spoon-Accord]

no no no my ek

kim is doing his own lol

[EG5]

We discussed this b4 , I can get nearly everything you needed.

As barefootbanzai said : playing with cars aint cheap , just do it step by step unless if you got stacks of spare cash , then you can blow it all in 1 go

thats intresting, but i would of fort that if u were going to swap the motor u would swap the gbox as well,

are there issues in running/fitting the box in a civic?

[Jord]

yea seeings a Ek comes with a d16 motor unless its a EK4 or EK9 (correct me if im wrong) assuming he has ek1 i thought u would change the GB too...

[z3lda]

h2d kits are also avaliable if u want to retain ur dseires box

[Cvik_ryda]

What the hell?
Why would you change the gear box? Get a mount set from JDM yard. Hasport mounts are designed to bolt the h22a with box into the EK. And heavy front???? let say 50 kg. Change your bonet to fiberglass or CF, change your battery to light weight, loose the air con, there're 25 k+ already. And for the wiring HAsport also sold harness conversion so u can order that through JDM yard im sure. Im doing this atm but it is hard to find a good half cut (well for me anyway). Talk to some one that done this or a tune shop dont listen to e-machanics. hope that help
