red ef

how hard is it
to put a h22 in a 1990 civic?????

imported_ontariorider

pretty hard, espically into an ef. i think you have to use a ef siR hood aswell or even need a hood scoop because there are clearance issues.

ive never seen a write up on an h22 into an ef...

try honda-tech.. the guys there have done pretty much everything.

imported_Joe_98Si

never seen a h22 in an ef, if you do end up doing it let us know how it went

chris_si98

how about you do a h22 swap joe? I'd like to see that

imported_Joe_98Si

iv seen it done.... but it didnt goto well..... the h22 is a tight squeeze into these cars... and if you were to ever have to change an alternator, starter or any of that shyt... it would be a heck of a time........ buddy had to cut out some of the structure of the hood for it to close, u need to have a front engine mount welded to the front k-frame... i believe this car is in bondhead now... and still doesnt have a front motor mount...... they had to notch into the kframe for the manifold to clear..... its not worth the swap plus the car would handle like shyt........ heres a few pics... thats all i could find right now........ but i wouldnt recommend doing this swap.... stick to the eg's and newer.... LOL keep them out of the ef's....... these guys ruined a perfectly good 2 owner car with 150km's on.... a perfectly good shell gone to waste... take a look



theres the 200+HP power plant shoved into the little ef

if your still interested in this swap into your EF.... talk to CRX_SiR_JDM on here...... he and a few of his buddies did the swap

Midnight Racer

man that is a tight squeeze.The good news is that hasport once again sells the mount kit to drop an H22 into EF's.

imported_Nefarious

indeed they do.... and i think u can pick it up for about 300.... could be wrong......... but its definatly a tight squeeze... if you are doing this u also need the conversion kit for the hydraulic clutch........ but if you still serious about puttin one into an ef... i think the car would best perform on the track... in a straight line haha.... cuz the car steers like crap.... also, i would recommend a half cage inside the car... but if your going to do that you might as well extend the cage forward into the bay lol... or talk to RRRex about his 3-way anchor strut bar, and see if you can make one fit with the H22

for all the work, your gunna do why not just drop a k in there.?

imported_Nefarious

thats what im sayin iv been wantin to do this for sometime now... but its an expensive build... theirs alot of boys iin the states doin this swap.. and iv seen some crazy video footage of them... i say if your gonna get into the hastle of the h22, spend the extra few g's and go the k20.... and how bout that 6spd haha........ more then likely thats out of the budget.... so if it were me id go with the b20 vtec.... if you want some crazy torque fun

heres a vid of some boys in the states

dunno if this'll get me in ****.... but t ddnt go down in canada
