h22a EG Civic

[proscoonie]

Hi, just wondering has anyone done this conversion or knows someone that has? I have been researching this for a bit and found out that you have to sacrifice your air con and power steering for the engine to fit. Does anyone know how it will handle without PS? But from what I hear is the civic shoud really pull hard and have heaps of power. 8)

welcome dude!!

you will need customs mounts and yes ur PS and possibly AC will be sacrifice, but you'll have an awesome power/weight ratio civic!
not sure where u live, but if in sydney, go to www.onlineperformance.com.au the owners of Australia's fastest FWD! They luv anything H22A, and have done many H22A conversions and i believe there may be pics/info on their site! Give them a buzz...

Cheers...

Handling? You want handling out of that much weight up front? :lol:

Straight line is awesome - dunno about the corners :P

[wynode]

Yeahh, the H22 non-all alloy block upsets the weight districution of a civic as it sits quite forward.......expect the tail to get a bit happy around corners

Nonetheless she'll be DAMN QUIK!

By the way I live in Brissy. NOt to sure about any performance HOnda places here. SO no one here has been in a h22a civic yet? I am just wondering if it is worth it. :?

hey buddy, I've sat in a few h22a civics man. The swap can retain Power steering if it is done right, and air cond can be kept if u change the radiator peice and the ac peice to small custom made units.

To give you an idea of how fast a h22a civic is, if u were to race a type R integra, u would leave it behind by about 3 bus lengths. As for cornering, the manfiold collector position sits lower in the civic than in the lude, so if u lowre ur car it becomes an issue that the pipes get bent. But if u do ur homework correctly, and get good suspension setup, it will handle just fine, in fact the only problem that we had when we were going hard around corners was the fact that the EK4 in front of us was running too slow granted that it was only mildly modded, that gives u the idea of the awesome performance that a h22a civic has. The only drawback is that h22a parts are always more costly, and thus if u want a fast street car with the luxuries and u dont mind a lack of tourque, then go the b18c or b16a, much better cost wise.

i'd curious to how a H22A EG can beat typers by 3 bus lengths. an EG civic with a stock H22A engine should run neck and neck if not a half to a full length over the typer!

from my knowledge, stock h22a EG civic have run low 14's....with a CAI and exhaust system, it will get into the 13s. a stock typer will run mid to low 14s (DC2R), modded may break 13s as well. if anything, if quite an equal comparison.......

[accordpwr]

My friend's dc2 typeR with headers, exhaust and cai can only do a best of 14.79 at heathcote. I don't think a stock typeR can do mid 14's. Maybe, my friend is a crap driver, hehe!!!

[Teggy-Vtir]

i also dunt fink a stock dc2r can do mid to low 14s
ive seen a dc2r do 14.6 but he wasnt stock

[Hadean]

A stock DC2R will do at best, a high 14s pass. A stock DC5R will do low 15s. That's real life times, not dropping tyre pressures etc.

I find all these figures weird as the B16A powered EF hybrid hatches in the US will run 15.5 and better. Usually they are 200kilos or so down on a DC2 but they are also 40bhp and don't run a LSD. The EF9 SiR (track version that ran a LSD and power-nothing) weighed in at 900 kilos with a factory 160bhp B16A and pulls 15.3 according to Honda. A DC2 will be a lot faster than that.
