H22A into EM1

[jeremydawg]

^true blue, just throwing ideas around. Ofcourse he will have to do his own solid research.

Best option would be to go to a specialist and tell him what youve been thinking of doing and he will provide you with proffesional advise on what you can do.

[quangsuke]

would need
looms
ecu
mounts
gearbox plate for conversion
h2b headers

[MikeyG]

1.5k is piss weak for h2b

like what that other person and benson said it will take more then that

you cant slap a b series box to a h22a block.. wont work need the h2b kit and the labour will kill ya

[dougie_504]

Why don't you just do a B20? You'll need new mounts, conversion plate/parts for the H2B etc etc. I'm not saying B20 is so much cheaper or whatever but I don't think the H22A will be that much better than the B20VTEC.

To me it just seems like a lot of hassle when you already have a B-series platform, complete with engine. Change the block, or get a B18C block and stroke that out to 2.1L (been done).


I'd rather have the B20.

honestly i think even doing a swap with a b18c7 will b enuf, if you get a half cut u will b able 2 make the most of it, the type R box is much beter then the b16's so u would be well off throwing that in. Plus a well built type R engine can produce sum decent numbers.

or better yet drive it off a cliff and buy a r31 and drop a rb26 in it

[nigs]

LOL but then you'd be driving a HR31. Lame sauce.

DR30 + FJ20 is where it's at.

[jeremydawg]

hellz yeah!!!

one day imma do something like that... one day

[5thgen_prel]

lol make sure u jump out b4 u fall down the cliff otherwise u wont b drivin no car

I just finished a h22a4 into eg hatch... much the same.. (and when i say "I", i mean I persoally did it) better option than b18 or b20.... cheaper too.... oh, and forget about h2b unless you're gonna hoon it around all the time (or do track work)... not worth the extra cost. H22a wins on torque alone. Other options can make same power, but the extra displacement wins just because of the extra torque...

Need:
engine, gb, shifter assembly and cables, ecu
mounts (ebay)
driveshafts (ebay or DIY, or buy the brand new ones i didnt end up using, lol)
Conversion harness (makes wiring painless)
thicker alloy radiator with slim thermo... will probably have to get creative mounting it
access to google for when you get stuck.

[TheSaint]

the best bang for buck mod a B16 owner can do is a B20 block conversion
the B16 head already flows well - all it needs is displacement
money well spent imo

[dougie_504]

Although admittedly you could sell your B16A and pretty much buy a H22A no worries, so it's probably cheaper or same price going H22A in hindsight (not H2b)
