D15 to H22 hard?

[93Civicspeed]

Alright I know its not gonna be a cake walk but is it as hard as I think its gonna be?

[L.D.Forget]

not hard at all. Just keep in mind that you cant have AC or Power Steering.

yeah, i had a duece duece about 3 years ago, i can live without PS, but a/c i hot lanta, florida, and lower alabama when its humid as hell .....KILL YOURSELF. its not a hard swap as far as swaps are concerned. just be ready.

Ive never owned a vehicle with AC so that dont bother me but Im not sure bout the PS last vehicle I had with no PS had 31/10.5/16 and it was a b**** lol

[L.D.Forget]

some civics of this gen came without power steering, its really no big deal unless your a pencil thin pussy.

[somejaykid]

it's a straight forward swap but sometimes you'll hit a snag with the the b**** pin, good luck with the swap op and keep us updated

Thee hardest part will be: Electrical.

Getting the H22 to run like it should, like how it runs on a Prelude. Like if it was a stock Prelude Vtec Si, with no malfunctioning lights. Making it pass emissions(having all the emissions system components work properly) like a stock Prelude will ( if your chassis is obd1, this might be easier to do then if it was obd2 chassis). Not only will the motor run like it was designed to, but you will get the intended miles per gallon. So, now you have TWO sets of wiring diagrams to work with. One from a Civic, and one from a Prelude.

Good luck.

Man if you need any walk throu man hit me up i do all the h series swaps aroun d my area and if i dont do them i end up fixing them there not hard too do just takes some work too get them running correctly i have seen 140 - 210hp stock swaps with as little as 14 mpg or 28 mpg its all too do with the wiring the tune and the vacuum lines and lining everything up right

Well see the thing is I was also lookin at the B20 or KA24 or the SR20DET also

[abs0Lut]

sr20? haha want to do a RWD conversion?

[93Civicspeed]

hell yeah if I could find a 240SX that was messed up but the drive train was good Id do it

[L.D.Forget]

if you think an h22 swap is hard, then how do you figure you have the chops to do a rwd swap?

[93Civicspeed]

I dont think its gonna be hard I just knew it wasnt gonna be a plug and play swap... and a RWD conversion well if I had the time and space and money to do it, I would have it done already lol

going from D to H22 is definetly not an easy swap, not the hardest but not easy. you have to have a welder and cutter for some things, and the wiring is b****! just make sure you take it to the right place cause i've been f***ed over by people who dont know anything about chipping and tunning. Run a p28 with chrome though
