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
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
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.
JDM h22a has 220hp, this the same amount of power as the k20 JDM motor which also produces 220hp. The h22a has abit more torque. The type S motor came with a better gearbox then the old h22a, with better final drive and LSD.
IMO do the h22a, you'll rape most cars on the street esp b18c7 conversion.
