Prelude Engine in Civic

[4PERVZ]

Just wondering is it possible to put a 2.2 vtec engine from a gen 4 prelude into a 94 civic?? If so has anyone done it before or know where i could find some information about it??

Thanx, Rick

SSS sell them thats where i got mine, careful though mine had a blown head gasket, it was almost done and we had to rip the ****ing thing out and start again. A B16a is easier but I'm sorry forensics you don't get the same result.

It's stupid comments like this that mislead people who come here to learn.

This has been covered various times.. so yea search it up .. but from what ive read and asked (was slightly contemplating it before my b16a)

It is a huge increase in power, even from a b16a/b18a but is only effective as a drag car due to the loss of power steering ... Ive heard because the engine is too heady for powersteering to be efective, and that the engine is so much larger that there is no room in the engine bay for powersteering pump etc...
Perhaps its both or just one of the 2 reasons, but either way u loose ur powersteering. Without that your not gonna have a track car .. or id asume a pleasurable daily driver..
Problems id asume ud have.. engine mounts.. gonna hafta get them from somewhere.. becase the h22a doesn't just fit into an EG :P.. (try that has-sports or watver place... in USA) ud definatly have to get 4 discs to be able to stop that thing.. extra weight and extra power.. especially if ur gonna be hammering it down straights.. big callipers at that.. im not sure how compatible the h22a ones are, but id suggest atleast dc2 dsics
also - h22a parts are harder to find from wreckers etc... because the 4th gen preludes here dont use the h22a, (h22a for 4th gen is import only) only the gen5 (1997+) ones do.. so if u want parts .. they will be rare and expensive ..

I think its best to talk to someone like h22a civic for exact details...

my 2 cents anyway... =)

My 4th gen prelude has a H22A engine in it and its not an import...

hrm... i was sure h22a was JDM only ... im no prelude expert so ill take ur word for it

i thought the aus spec were the h23a or somethign? ohw ell :)

i dont think u know what ur talking about..
B16a 1.6L
H22a 2.2L

the H22a is all over the b16a in power/torque.
there is over 50 Hp difference in the two engines
