i have a 98 civic ex.
anyone have good advice on what swap i should do, i had been looking into h22 but all i have heard is that ill be spinning all day..
GSR is a lil too pricey, im looking to spend like no more than 3,500 on everything, including mounts and droppin it in....
anything would help

if u have good tires n suspension u shouldnt have any problem getting the h22 to hook. driver mod can help that too. i kno ppl who have h22 hatches that can keep em solid outa the hole all day.

Alot of traction problems are due to people not knowing how to drive, having a crappy suspension setup(ebay coilovers on stock shocks) and bald tires, most of the time a combination of all three.You will not have any traction issues if take care of the above problems.

^^ hehe a more elaborate version of wat i said.

"spinning all day" has nothing to do with the choice of engine. its all about driver, suspension, tires. also, im sure the whole "h22 weighs a lot" shit when in fact it weighs about 65 pounds more than a bseries swap. i would go h22 or gsr. im sure you could get a full gsr swap for 3500. you can even look on here and get one for less than that.


just a thought.
