89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

Well, here's the deal: one of my friend's is in the military, needed some cash bad, and sold me his 89 dx hatchback. Even though the stock d15 was rebuilt, the car runs like total dogshit. So my psychotic mind started wondering what it would be like to dump my spare f22 from my old accord into the hatch, and then throw my 14b on top of it. I know it would be alot of work, and have been doing some research on what it would take. I know it's do-able, especially if they can squeeze h-series motors in these cars. My plan is to rebuild the f22, toss it in, strip down the hatch to bare-bones, and run the 14b with a p28 and uberdata. I'd like to use the 5-speed that's still attached to the f-motor, even though the cable to hydro conversion might be a bitch. Anyone got any thoughts or answers on this setup? I don't want to build anything flashy, just a plain-jane mean machine. One seat, no heat, and a good old fashioned straight pipe. ;D Hook me up with some ideas here guys! 8)

sounds unike i like it, try it and let us know how it goes

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

Hopefully i can convince my g/f to let me waste err...i mean re-invest ::) all my money. I'm kinda hoping to get a start on it when it warms up a little more, Northeast PA is cold as hell right now, and i lost my old garage space. But i plan on taking pics of everything, so maybe in a bit i'll have my own little write-up ;D

Do it dude. Who needs tires?... ;D

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

If your a fabricator the job can be done if not dont start. It's not that easy. I have been involved in these swaps for years from a very talented friend of mine and it's not for the faint at heart. Unless hasport has their kits out yet the chance of doin it right is slim just reality. Wait for the mount kits to come out

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

the mounts might be the least of your probblems. think about the shift linkage nukka

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

we were just talking about that tonight, I might give it a shot in a crx one of these days.

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

Well, i used to work for a vintage race shop before i moved, so fabricating and machining is not a new thing to me (try getting parts for a 1968 ferrari 350GTO...they just don't make them, plus they only made 6 of these cars total). I've helped out a few friends with crazy swaps, so it's nothing new to me.

Bisi runs a F22 on a D-series tranny in a CRX. He made an adapter plate to fit the motor to the tranny. I saw the car at Route 66 Drag Strip. The motor stands straight up and there would be alot of room for a turbo. I think the DSM manifold can be made to fit that motor for a nice low buck set up. :)

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

Well here is the problem w/ the d trans very weak he is breakin them at every race w/ 300 whp a turbo f22 should make that fairly easy.

Some video of the car. Best pass w/ the stock jdm h22a bottom end was a 11.65 at 117 at Las Vegas speedway driven to and back from the track a true street car. The combo is insane but getting the trans/motor set up isnt easy

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

yup sweet combo already know bout dh-r, i have the adapter plate kits soon to be up for sale...I have been trying to get hold of dh-r with some questions but no luck. Far as axle midshaft alignment and motor mounts...ill just make my own if i have too :(

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

Dave aint gonna give any info I'll tell you that. I know he's the only one who's runnin one in a car that has run fast times so far

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

kinda guessed that he wouldn't give up anything, b series motor mounts far as I know will work with a lil work...mine will be runnin in the next month or so...ya i give him props but i think I can run a lil faster of course not NA 50-75 shot...stock jdm h22izzle :)

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

The new street car were hoping to run low 11's w/ the a new bottom end. You should have a potenet set up w/ traction

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

That crx is beautiful.

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

The drag car is a looker too. I'll get some pics after we get some shakedown runs on the car

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

That is a nice setup for a N/A setup, but i just want to put some of my turbo parts to good use. As far as a tranny goes, i still have the complete accord that the motor is out of, so i figured i would still use the stock 5-speed accord tranny with the cable shift linkage. It's not gonna look pretty, but i'm not too concerned with pretty while shittin' on the ricers up in my area ;D My main thought on using this motor instead of an H or B series is because it's an iron block, and will take boost alot better than an H-motor will. There's still no replacement for displacement ;)

Re:89 hatch with f22 turbo?
 

I dont see why the hasport h kit wont work you may want to contact them and see when there full line will be out for the ef kit will make your life easier and there parts are top notch
