is a F22 a good engine to drop in an eg?

imported_Gatsby

Well, considering the difficulty of the swap (not a drop-in application) and the specs of the motor, no!

any of the b16a, b18b, b18C1,b18C5, b20b would be a much better choice, since they are all drop-in applications (for Civics 92-00).

H22 is also very desirable, but needs a bit more work to fit in (motor mounts are required: Enjo makes them).

But F22? Hmm.... Nah....

F22B has some decent HP and torque

imported_gatherer

if you want to do it you'd be looking at needing the H22 mount kit from Hasport... (or something like that)

the engines can be found for cheap they are slightly lighter then a h22 and have a nice torque curve to them..

I say go for it....

imported_Cablerat

don't waste your money..

If you're going to go through that much difficulty. installing the shifter and everything, you might as well go for the H22.

Nova_Dust

Go for it.

sure It's good

How much work do u think it is to put a F20C into a EK? the motor is a good amount of cash..but hey 240hp doesnt come cheap

imported_loudsubz

that motor has no toruqe lol

imported_kane2k

Well considering that the F20C comes out of a rear wheel drive s2000, I'm assuming you are going to have to transverse mount it, mate it to a completely different transmission, unless you want to take the entire s2000 drivetrain and cut a big trench up the middle of your civic for a RWD conversion. Then try to link up all the electronics. You would also probably have to make a custom intake exahust system as well.

If you have over 20 years of custom fabrication experience I'm sure it's nothing you couldn't pull of in a couple of months.

^^^^ Hahaha, oh man...What a doosie...

A rear wheel drive hatch would be like drivin a go kart...

imported_loudsubz

there is a 5th gen civic HB with a f20c in it

I saw it before, its RWD as well, used the exhaust hump to run the drive shaft

imported_kane2k

Is he running an open header then? That car sounds like fun. Hmmm... I wonder if it cost more or less to build than a 1999 BMW M coupe (34000 on autotrader ) , which would be essentially the same car, i.e. 240hp rwd hatch, except with a warranty, and luxury, and a better chassis, and not all hacked up, and better handling, and crash tested, and .......

Yeah it's a cool idea but come on.

ive seen the 5th gen with a F20C in it at dark nights..it looked good..its just alot of work :cry:
