there are kits avaliable for the B-series and D series box's onto the H and F-series motors... There is a post hidden somewhere on Honda-tech about the H2B kits and bisimoto racing do the d-series adapters as used in the Sohc 9sec all motor Honda insight..
As for the parts for a K20A conversion.. the AUS spec driveshafts should bolt straight into the car hub-diff.. the JDM spec will fit the 98 spec ITR hubs.. The ECU is abit of an issue but there are alot of JDM ecu's available..
i dont think driveshafts are compatible.
the h22 is a beast and the k20 is well engineered.
h22 will have more torque, k20 will have more rpm.
h22 will have more displacement, k20 will have more support.
with a lot of money u can get a high reving, high comp, 2.4l h22(or h24a hehe) ANIMAL of a engine.
if i were u i would source a audm stock h22a, crack it open and build it up with some quality gear. personally i think the type s h22 is over rated, its just some higher domed pistons running higher comp, for the money saved u could make it more performance orientated. u dont need to go hardcore but h22 = 3k say 4k installed, where k20 was 12, so theres 8k for standalone ecu, lsd and some engine work.
i called around for a week and found the cheapest h22a halfcut for 3k (was abit dodgy, didnt know how many ks it had) and the cheapest installer quoted me $2400.Quote:

wouldnt the k20 sit further forward in the engine bay than the h22a?

thanks for everyones input so far....
but i probably lean towards the h22a.. a cheaper option:)
As me and my brother were weighing up the same question about a year and a half ago I'd like to share my thoughts. Everyone is probably thinking I'd go K20 but if I had to do it again I would probably go with the H22.
The H22 is MUCH cheaper alternative to the K and it also has good aftermarket support. The thing is the JDM H22 can make very similar power/torque figures to the JDM K20 without many mods at all.
As for the conversion go for a JDM K20 half cut... otherwise forget about it. I wouldn't want to fathom the trouble installing an Aussie K20 as the ECU can't be installed with Hondata (as far as I know) and the gearbox would be below par let alone the diveshaft issues!
Build a tough H22 Civic!:thumbsup:
Jdm k20a's go far around 5000-7000, Now type S H22a's...i see alot people writing around 2-3K,being a rare package as it is id love to see anyone find one at that price range,jdm H22a with the M2A4 box yes 2000-3000.
fatboyz39- h22a EG times--my pb was 13.8 @101mile with a 2.1 60ft. standard P13 with cheap intake and 2.5 inch cat back.I did a huge write-up 1.5 years ago on this:

Bang for Buck id go H2B swap..;)
Also here is alink to alot of info on the H2B swap..:)

yeah i'm with paul here (honda_b_blastn).
Bang for buck u can't go past the cheaper conversion and the availability of parts and prices. Yeah K20a is awesome and watnot, but is it worth the extra 6k?
Went for a spin in a eg hatch with the h22a, (honda_b_blastn's old setup) and damn it flies. So much torque in every gear.
end of the day, its how much $$$$ and experience you have.
