Hope u like understeer :P
I don’t get why people want to do this all the time. You have defeated the reason why these are great cars. You will get sick of traffic light wars very quickly. If you want more displacement get a VTI-R Integra engine (or a type R if u can afford it). This is a much better engine than a H22 plus the issues with installing them. I believe that I saw a post on her that said the VTI-R Integra engines were only 500 bucks more than a b16a conversion cant remember what place that was but it was like 5,500 installed. To me that’s a much better option.
However it’s your money and you are allowed to spend it anyway u feel.
Just my .2c
yeah and u know all these ppl that have done the h22a conversion are right!
Dont do it! its too heavy! it wont be able to turn! u need arms like arnnie to turn it!
meanwhile my mates h22a ek4 is owning some fast itrs.... but then again studley park, mt dandy, they are all straight roads!
i know that im going to be changing the characteristics dramatically by putting this engine in!
but.....my car is definatley not a track car...and never will be...so im not too worried about cornering speed...im also in a town where there aint to many twisties...
and im also after something different....
reason for this motor
....Big displacement.....
....Non Common conversion....
....work out on arms while driving... :D :D
i already have made lots of parts for this conversion already....
and have researched and organised everything from engineering to insurance.... it seems a relatively straight foward swap.....just its a bit toight in the engin bay!....
nice mate,j h22a will be something different, you'll have to keep us posted ;)
your from geelong yeah?
have you thought of going the b20b same as Matt's but no turbo,
or b18b?
it seems that everyone thinks h22a is way to heavy and if your gonna spend mad cash then consider all alternatives?
just thoughts,
Peter
What's with all the "H22a is Heavy" crap. They aren't even that much heavier than the B-series motors, and yet ppl still say, that it will effect their handling. The only down side of the H22a is the lack of high revving.
lol @ EG boy. Weight will not be your friend in a FF car :D
Get a K24 instead.
B16A is a nice motor - but is seriously dated nowadays. 160-170ps in a JDM motor seems to be below the spects of an average new hot hatch. I can't say I'm impressed with the power output or delivery anymore compared to a B18C
