Im not very knowledgable with imports but I was planning on buying an H22(which I found the :engine-mount-& labor for $5K) and swap it into a 93-95 Civic Hatchback and also slap a turbo on it. Im trying to buy the body of the car and start from there(wondering how much it would be). Is this a good swap or are there better ones? ie: LS Engine w/ TypeR Vtec head. Just need some feedback on what I should do...

 

FYI: 92-95 model year and LS with a 2k civic Si head will do nicely.

 

Im looking for pure speed H22 wouldnt be the best? Only thing im thinking is handling problems for the beast...

 

By June I should have $25K to play with this should make a mean hatch any other ideas on what I should do mod wise? If I dont do this swap im going for a 427 in a old body style car (nova etc) or a WRX-Sti.

 

dude im pretty sure if you BEEF suspension up h22 in a h/b wont be a problem. you will prob need one of those 1000$+ landspeed or bilstein or something of that nature plus you will need to get the weight in your car = out so you wont have crazy mad torque steer. h22 turbo would stomp all over most everything around here and if u got 25k GO FOR IT.

 

Any other ideas on mods im not familiar with hondas... i was thinking spoon rims etc.

 

get a supra and drop 15-10k on it to make it a 10 second daily driven beast.

If you have the cash go gsr sleeved b16 head and boost it if you want boost the meager 30-40 horses can be made up with more boost and it is lighter also steering with the h22 is a little of a pain and handling sucks compared to the lighter block....in other words if you want boost go light all engine get a crv block and slap a b16 head on it and you got that h22 by the balls.
