Civic h22

[YLD-H22]

Possibly writ off my Prelude the other day , tyre popped at high speeds insurance will tell me if its a write off or not next week.

Just need advice on Civic engine swaps. I wana put my h22 engine in one.
Any advice will be much appreciate right now!

What do I need to look at when buying a civic, options etc?
I want the lightest civic possible. Eg?
Is it very costly to do a h22 swap ?

Basically. Yes it'll go straight in. There is aftermarket mounts available for it.

Will go in but not the easiest swap to do
H22 engine prices aren't that bad either
Easier if the civic you buy is fuel injected not carby

It will if its written off

So no carbys. I wont be doing the swap myself i wana get it done legit and through the rta. If the Engine wasn't touched from the hit but the car is a write off because repairs cost more than the value of the car can I still use the engine !?

you will have to buy the wreck back from the insurance company

if you get paid out

Well said that's what I was saying above


And op, it can be carby but will cost you more as its more work
Fuel injected is alot simpler

Now the situation with buying the wreck back.. Can I reuse the engine or re-Rego the car again?

you wont be able to re register the car again, as itll be a registered write off. If its not actually registered as a write off, then yes youll be able to rego it again. But if its a write off, itll be too much mucking around to fix.

As for the engine, you can reuse that no matter what

How many kws is he expecting honda4 ?

Trism, the guy that came and towed my car away told me there's a new law with Rego write-offs. If the car is 15+ years old it can be registered as a write off .. I find it hard to believe but the guy sounded convincing since his been in the business for 14 years ! Can't figure out if its true or not though
