I know the h22 is a big engine, but if you throw it in a 98 civic, does the a/c go or can it stay?

you can keep AC but in most cases it will require fabrication build a b18 and turbo it dont get an h22

hell nah, h22 why pay more for a b18 when its slower? Oh yeah ignore all the bull about its hard to turn, to much fabrication, etc, etc.... It's bull

actually its not bull and also you may buy the b18 for more but in the end the h22 will be more expensive

alright mr. spit, do you know what is involved in the swap???, if you know that there is not too much fab. needed and it stears ok, then y do you wanna know if you can keep the a/c???????? ???

You know its more bang for your buck! I'v dropped an h22 in my 93 civic cx, and yes ac would be a bitch. Fortunately enough I already pulled mine out, to hell with ac and im in arizona! Any way everthings all good this was my first swap and on a 1-10 difficult scale i give it a 5! Reason being you can't be to dumb, and you don't have to be to smart. Right now my lowest e.t. is a bout a 13.2 with intk, head, and exhaust all on street tires. Gsr can't compete.

Pretty much consider the h22a the honda 'big block'. it can be fit into your civic chasis without having to cut/hack or refabricate using GSR axles, shift linkages from an accord, and one of the mount kits from HASport or other such companies. The motor WILL cause oversteer/understeer without corrective alignment precautions BECAUSE the motor was designed to lean a different direction then D/B series. However, like I said the steering can be corrected.

Air-Conditioning can be kept, I believe that you use the original civic hosing and condenser. The sizing may have to be cut, but theres no reason why it can't be fabricated. If you're not good at rigging things together I wouldn't bother with such a swap until you've found the definitive answer to all your questions.

As well, this person saying that there is no steering doesn't know enough about suspension to make a justified claim. Lowering a honda with this bigger motor in it will indefinently cause bad toe and camber. Of course, I have seen lovely civics driving down the road with their tires looking like this / \ maybe if thats what you like?

Look around, call up places like HASport, and motor swap companies in your local area. See what they say as well.

first of all i bet u this guy above me never did an h22 swap, if i had a scanner i would post some pictures til then beleive someone thats actually done this swap.

Lol, I never said I DID THE SWAP did I?

Fortunately for you you don't have a scanner do you?
I've never dropped a 396 chevelle motor in a camaro ss, but I am pretty sure I could do it - because I've seen it done and I've seen how things fit.

69 camaro ss/rs came with bb396s :P

they fit fine

yes my camaro has a nice 396 in it now, it fits fine:) and as to the camber Q, the added weight and the direction of tilt will cause some camber problems but with the correct mount kit it shouldent be a big issue but it DOES exsist.
Lets do a small prce comparison. i am using www.hmotorsonline.com as a source for both motors to be fair. i know they are not the cheapest dealer but they area stable dealer.

And you stil have to buy the mounts an fabricate the A/C bracket to get that to work. even with a lesser H22, this one lists at the bottom what the extra charges are for the mount kit ---- linkages and axels.

* If you need a motor mount kit for your 1992-2000 civic, we can supply you with the hasport kit for $490. Prices valid with purchase of a complete changeover only. Also available is the correct axles for swapping this motor into a civic. 90-93 Integra axles and 90-93 Accord Intermediate shaft can be included for an additional $200 (please note that stock H22 axles will not be included if you opt for the civic axle combo).

so all in told $2889 for this swap with the correct axels and mount kit. I would proberly go with the B18c1 and get LSD and have an easier swap particularly if its your first swap. If this is not your first swap do what you think would be good and at your level. I have to agree with jeff, h22/3=boat anchor, but do waht you want, its a large chunk of change to be playing with unless you know what the hell you are doing.

damn everyone is hatin on the H22 swaps... that ---- is ill regardless of waht happens its a different swap and check out the ------- 725 hp civic with turboed H22 in the last issue of HCI thta ---- is INTENSE id say GO FOR IT..

PFI in Fort Collins, CO has a turbo H22A in their shop CRX pushing 720 whp.

Am I impressed? ---- no, they've spent at least 80 grand on that car in the past 4 years.

H22's are the ----,, go for it, no matter what people say. itll ---- up your handeling for ever but ---- it,, you got power!! ;D

Let's see; 4 to 5 years ago people were saying "B series in a Civic or CRX, you'll have to cut & weld the motor in your car + it will cost like 8G's for a shop to do it + you have to rewire the entire car!!! Dude go with the ZC it bolts right in and only costs $400 (that was back in 1998-1999)

Then Hasport and other companies started making swap kits from 2000-2002. People have abandoned the ZC because of its mistery parts and wiring problems. Now you see just as many B16's in Civics as you saw ZC's in their cars back in 1999. Then the same guys were saying "Dude don't go TypeR, it costs too much. Go with LSVTEC and you'll run 12's" We all know how reliable that motor is.

Now 2003 the CRVTEC, GSR, and TypeR swaps are becoming very popular. Same guys again saying "Dude and H22 weighs more than your entire car and it will steer like you have an elephant on the hood!!! + it leans the wrong way so you will have mount issues!!!" NOT ANYMORE!!! Thanks to PlaceRacing, Hasport and other companies we are now able to fit the Honda Bigblock into our cars with no problems by buying their mount kit.

I bet by 2005 you will see more H22's in Civics because of popularity, technology, and the need for speed. Dude, don't jump on the band wagon; do the H22 swap and show everyone how BIGGER IS BETTER!!!

No, I don't have and H22 swap; but I do have a B18B1 T3T4 turbo setup in my 87 CRX Si. Trust me, you will be happier with the H22 over any other Honda block.

just my .02

Yes, thats right lets completely ignore the fact that people are experiencing problems with axle snaps because of the weight distribution.

No one is making ------- axles for this swap that I have come across yet.

not yet but "IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME" ;)

I ran across this issue of honda tuneing for this mont htaht has an H22 swap in a 93 civic HB. If you really wnat to know what is involved read the artical and deside if you are capeable of doing it. They say it is a difficult swap and not for a novice. check it out!

honda tuning is a rip off this issue is the 3rd part in a 4-5 part series so u need the previous 2 issues which arnt much help...i dont think i like Honda Tuning anymore i think HCI and SCC is better right now more material to work with not concentrating on one make
