How hard would the conversion be?
Quite hard, you need hasport engine mounting kit. No engine modification needed on chasis. If you got a Vti-r, it would be better solution to go turbo. People will say that the h22a will be too heavy and it wont handle too good. The handling should be fine, as long as you get some good coilovers.
Hasport engine mounts and avid driveshaft(good quality)
The engine height is not bad in ek civic. i think it will handle fine so all those rumors dont believe..haha
apparently the h22a only weights an extra 50kilos
IMO ill turbo vti-r, achieve more power and best bang for your buck upgrade power wise.
so is a h22a in a vtir a good option?
Turbo is good but u gotta count on thing playing up..
Since ive turboed my a few things have anoyed me, its still driveble but not thrashable atm..
If i was to doit again id go NA H22a or save up a bit more and K20a...
N/A less hassles
whats more power in a ek, b18cR or jdm h22a
same power, more torque in the h22a, also cheaper in replacement parts
i think the b18cR will suite better for the EK. its a small car so doesnt need a 2.2L engine. it revs higher than the h22a. and u can get more aftermarket parts and mods for the b series. plus the typeR gearbox will have shorter gears that will compensate for torque.
the reason hondas handle so well is because of light weight (and more importantly weight balance)
not only does an h22a + gearbox + larger clutch + larger driveshaft weigh substantially more than b16 or b18 components, but that weight is all in the same place
expect a h22a powered civic to be way too front heavy, go the b18c ftw
bullshit.....h22a motor and gearbox weighs and extra 50kilo, that f*(ken nothing. Just get decent coilover and you should be fine.Quote:

IMO do the h22a, you'll rape most cars on the street esp b18c7 conversion.
i would have thought 50kilos would be quite significant tho
considering that civics are quite light cars
