Honda/Acura Motor swap question
Hey guys, buddy of mine wants to know if any b-series or posibly the h22 would fit in a saturn??
Its a 95' Saturn SL2 with DOHC
Let me know, because the engine is pretty massive so i wouldn't see why it wouldn't go in. Let me know. I know there is going to be alot of wire harness conversion to get thing going but is it possible. thanks.

I have a 93 Saturn SL2 as well as my Civic. I can safely say that no Honda engine will fit, as the tranny is on the wrong side as well 
Besides that, considering the awesomeness of the Saturns (really, I think they make great beaters), why would you spend prolly over $7000 trying to cram a H22 in there when for that much you can buy a hybrid that's a little rough and could use a freshening. Otherwise, it can physically fit in there, the Saturn is a 1.9L twin cam...130hp I think. Tell him to check out sps products...there are also turbo kits and lotsa other stuff. Big Saturn community out there...I'd love to be a part of it, but my heart belongs to someone else.... my Civic

I've found lots...like I said, huge community out there. All the links are on my home computer though (I think/hope). All you have to do is find a Saturn web ring, browse through 10-15 pages worth of links (on ppls personal pages) and you will find tons of forums and classifies and modification sites. Don't forget, there are few hardcore ones...most are stereo installs and putting on american racing rims 
But there is a nice white SC2 with Enkei rims, and a few others. I've looked for auto-manual swap, but it's not worth it for me. I gotta sort out other things on it to make it a reliable car, so the tranny is not much of a concern at this point.

The hardess part of the transformation would probably getting the motor mounted up and getting the right length axles. Other than that it shouldn't be too hard to get things wired up and working, etc... Obviously easier said than done..
It's all about time and money.
