yes, i have seen at least one on this forum, "badhbt" very nice looking car =P (to say the least)
umm, he doesn't often come online though, but keep an eye out, some people might be able to point you in the right direction.
yeh i know marc, he put a h22a in his 95 GSI, you can catch it in Issue 30 of autosalon magazine, alot of hard work and lots of $$$$$
are u looking at having one done or u just curious???
i dont hav any issues of autosalon lol.. can someone post pics of his car? everyone seems to talk about how nice it is. yeh i'll most likely be doing the swap. i'll be doing most of the work myself apart from the wiring. i've ordered a guide from the states and i've also got ppl giving me advice from over there. from the sounds of it its really worth the money. but yeh i just started this thread to see if anyones actually done it in australia who i could talk to. but it seems theres one person in australia that people know of whos actually done it :S hopefully i'll be the 2nd :P
why not go a further step and go k20a..hehehe, if moneys not an option.. lolz
coz h22a swap will be like half the price lol. all up i've estimated it to be around $5500 including mounts, axles, linkages, new suspension and brakes.
man from what marc has told me, the mounts are an absolute nightmare, probably more trouble than its worth, and i think it will be costing u alot more than $5500, ur dreaming!!!
unless he gets hassport mounts!
The Man Himself
$5500 well thats based on the information i got from the ppl in the states who actually have done the swap. im sure i would save alot of money since im talking to ppl who have actually done the swap before. yeh i was planning on gettin the hasport mounts. i dont see y its such a dreaded swap over here but yet its been put into the eg/ek civic so many times. i guess its just the fact that australia is so far behind in the honda scene.
also.. one question off the topic. a 97 b18b2 (integra gsi) engine would anyone happen to know whether the wiring system is obd1 or obd2?
you sure thats not 5500 USD ?Quote:

yeh i am expecting it to fall over budget. im making my limit $7000. hopefully it wont go over that lol
i set mine at 6 i finished at 10..
u need to account for a few things like clutch.. cvs and shafts, water pump, oil pump, timing belt set, cost of wiring (or if doing urself equipment unless u have already), exhaust (getting a exhaust shop to weld up flanges to meet the h22 to ur pre-exisitng, lubricants, spark plugs, any damaged or missing parts from front cut, power steering line re-done.. (thats if the mounts will accomodate it), i had to get custom fuel line as the fuel rail line is on other side to b18a (or get an inline filter.. ) and to register this thing is a whole different story.. i dont have a/c, and had to get my front crossmember modfied as in vic the vass engineer required all 4 mounts on vehicle. fr33k knows what i went through to get mine finished..
u mite wana consider brake upgrades and all that shit aswell, no use having that much power if u cant stop once u get going
what did u do to ur car aus91integra????
Ob2 :)
i put a h22 in the LS. extractors and exhaust.. thats about it.. still saving up for hondata
H22 is a great engine conversion, and also agreat engine, have a look at the skunk 2 range of cams, there perform very well in these engines if you want a little more power out of them.
Sounds like a good project thow ;) well done good to see you spent the time and did things correctly like new pumps and belts, its these things I always tell clients about and there like oh do I have 2 replace that.. n its like dur of course you do !!!
Regards James
James my phone conversation with you last time .. I still cant find the dyno graphs of h22 skunk2 cams on your site..
cheers
andy
u also have to account for breaking axles ;)
Are you doing the conversion yourself?
If yes than it can be done for under 6K
I did a h22a into EG swap myself.Mine consisted of Hasport mounts,Hasport driveshafts,2.5inch mandrel bent exhaust,highflow cat,muffler,aftermarket clutch,custom built radiator,davies craig fan,all gaskets and seals replaced,water pump ect,engineered on the road i totalled at $5600.
Now suspension and Brakes is hard to estimate,it all depends on how you want your car to handle and brake.I spent another 3.5K in that department.And yes braking outer cv's is a problem ive had,id recommend either using the driveshaftshop.com shafts or getting the Hasport shafts like myself and swapping the outer cv's for civic or intergra outer cvs,as the Hasport cv ball retainer is very thin compared to the standard outers and thats where i broke mine both times.
It honestly isnt that hard to do a conversion,if your not too sure about the wiring then id leave that to someone else.I retained my standard civic loom and adapted that to the H22A.
Best of luck to you.
finally found dyno sheets..

and yeh im definately planning on brake upgrades and suspension. from wat i've read hasport mounts allow you to keep a/c and p/s?? is that so. all i really wanna keep is p/s tho. dont really care about the a/c
Yer Hasport mounts allow you to retain power steering.the AC can also be retained if you fabricate or purchase a bracket made by an americain company,cant remember there name.however you use your standard civic/integra ac pump on the h22a engine.
havent seen a integra with a h22a, should be good tho :) alot of work would hav to be done to fit it
man are u willing to buy a box of noodles to save up money and not parties for 2 years and work late shift every day? like marc..badhbt
lol :D
its not that bad dude!
its do-able for round 5-6k
$5500? damn.. why not just supercharge or turbo it. would rip any H22a conversion. But if you would probably want to stay NA.
power to weight my friend...:D to turbo/supercharge d/b/h series it woll cost you around that figure.I havnt been beaten by a standard internal boosted honda yet..reliability is the question you want to ask yourself...:thumbsup:Quote:
