what type of axles are you going to use?

im just doing what ESP does, i pretty much have to cause im using their mounts right, if i want good fitment of the axles.

Axle Combo:

*
88-89 Acura Integra driver side axle off shelf parts store.
*
90-93 Honda Accord Ex or Lx model midshaft
*
88-89 Acura Integra passenger side axle that has been cut down 1/2" on the shaft and has an Accord 90+ Inner joint put on it. Raxles.com sells this 1 custom axle. Ask for Marty.

my raxles axle should be coming tomorrow, and i still have to pick up the midshaft, already have the teg axle

ah. i see.
those sportmax look good btw.
i thought about those on my car, but
i really think they only look good
on older cars.

thanks!
yea, i'd have to agree with you there, kinda oldschool style

im really afraid that with the extra weight in the front they're gunna rub though... might need new suspension as well, maybe coilovers?...damn this swap is getting expesnive

i really like seeing h22 88-91 civics. and i REALLY like the way ESP is in business and the type of parts they make.

any swap can turn expensive. actually, this whole lifestyle is expensive.

your tires shouldn't rub, unless its really low, then yea of course.
dude, the only way ANYthing will rub is if, your slamed. like slamed slamed.
so if you dont want it to run, dont slam it.
as for suspension, Progress makes springs for H swaped cars.
im not sure if they got an app for ef tho, chyeck on that.

if i ever did H22, H2B woudl have to be done, shifter CABLES suck nuts, have fun mounting those and getting them shimmed right.

H2b Seems to be easy, buy the kit, use B series axles, thats it from what ive seen

its FAR more complicated thatn that lol.

it was luck and hard work, luck finding it at such a good price, hardwork keeping it running, i liked it, but i love hondas, so thats why im where i am now with my honda. the guy i sold mine to put an ls1 in it, i dont really like that, but whatever.

well.. i only have a minor drop in the front, 1.2" only! but my wheels stick out if you hadnt noticed.. so im thinking it could easily rub without being slammed... yea ill check up on the progress springs, i already have a progress camber kit

its FAR more complicated thatn that lol.

thank you!
make me feel better about not going h2b

Did you clean your engine bay while installing new motor? Not sure if you just "All Go" and "No Show"

Great build, keep us posted! Btw, any idea how much is the engine weight difference? I hope you are not too heavy up front.

i like shifter cables a lot. they shift so incredible smooth and almost impossibe to mss a gear

nice looking build, whos rx7 is that in the garage, looks nice, i sold mine to go be all about hondas.

and as for the fd... thats my dads car lol, hes putting an LS1 in there
well he already has it in, just has wiring left pretty much.

and his car wont be that much faster than my hatch im hoping
but its gunna sound mean with that v8

thanks, yea its coming a long alright.

he got a loan

[andre4444]

sweet, good choice, what did the complete swap run you im talking everything mounts and all

well, im making a price list for everything so far.. i have included some things like new exhaust, clutch, flywheel, header and whatnot which arnt critical... but they are necissary... lol

ESP H22 Motors mounts + Traction Bar-$915 (customs-$180)
H22 w/ LSD Tranny-$2500 (customs-$292)
Integra Driver side axle-$138
Raxles custom Passenger side axle-$205

Total: $6,635


Still have other small things to buy but that is pretty much it.
I know rywire is overpriced and whatnot... but im a newb and dont wanna screw up the wiring.

haha, i did a quick wash job.. wasnt very good though. gunna be mostly "all go" though thats for the engine bay at least, thinking of getting new paint and that popular jdm front bumper.

i dont know the weight difference... but i imagine it'd be bewteen 150-200lbs between the h22 and my ol' y7 ... just ballparking it. like i said before, im afraid im gunna need new suspension to rock my sportmax wheels we shall see!

true one reason why i have not done mine yet

and if h2b is complicated for newer civics wouldnt it even be harder for a 4th gen? cause i think never civics have more support in general
================================================================

some things i picked up today. accord midshaft,accord shifter assembly and the Si spindles. i couldnt get the rotors off the spindles cause i didnt have an impact driver and they charged me for them

my lil honda junkyard

shitty quality paintjob... but whatever!

and a shot of my puppy goofing off cause hes the s**t!!

all im waiting for now is my clutch and flywheel which have been delayed a week and then i think i'll be ready to put the engine in for the last time.
