h22 in a sedan

so how hard is it to put a h22 in a 90 sedan? is it worth it?

It won't be any different then putting a H22 in a DA.

If you have it, then it's worth putting it in. But if you're looking to buying one... I'd stick to B-Series. The H22 is a heavy engine.

uh, its about 35lbs or something heavier. relocate your battery then *bam* same weight. you are going to need different mounts, linkage, etc. search a little bit. is it worth it? what are you using the car for?

You're right. I just went by what I was told.

But none the less I guess it's all a matter of what you want with the car... Straight line racing it's a good motor, But i don't know if 40 pounds is a good thing right over the front wheels. I suppose it's nothing some very specific suspension tuning cant fix.

Bah, get a lighter battery, problem solved. It's a good swap for the money. The H is a different motor then the B but since you probably have an LS in there already it wouldn't be too different of a drive. You would probably like it a lot and it will perform well. You can even get the H2B tranny convertor and keep your tranny that you have now.

my buddys got a h22 boosted civic coupe thing is sick! pulls like a beast

The H22 is a good engine. It wouldn't be difficult to install.

yea the h22 is just sitting in my crippled accord, got it swapped into my accord, 3 days later the alternator died, i got that fixed. then i had a little bit of an electrical fire lol melted my fuse box. and its been sitting for about 2 years.

i would be using the car for a dd and maybe a 1/4 mile monster. its gonna be in a sedan so i know its not gonna be the fastest thing. the tranny in my accord definately has some different gearing in it. at 3k rpms in 5th gear i was doing about 70. so well see.

hows the electrical for the swap? i just wanna hear peoples opinions not some nerd that just wrote an article. thats why i havent really searched yet but the more i think about it the more i wanna do it

In a G3 it's cake, but this is a G2. None of the aftermarket companies do much for the second gen platform.

This link should help you with the info:

They also sell all the mounts and such that you will need.

Just convert the car to OBD1 and you should be straight with the wiring.

youll love it, itz not as bad as i thought.. the main thing youll need is motor mounts of course, but itz pretty simple
