piece of cake.........just cut your fenders and firewall........easy fit
^^point me in the direction of where you found this out along with whatever else I can find out about H & B series swap. I know its been covered before, but I'm still curious. If not an H22A, how about a B18C1?

The shop is making the mounts for the car. all i have to find is a p73 ECU. We are gonna use GSR tranny. I'm going to document all the work that is gonna be done.. so you'll have pic on tuesday ish... Yes its illegal but in CT you can pay 600bucks to DMV or a official emission shop and you wont have to go to emissions anymore. Course i'm not gonna pay 600.. the shop is gonna work somthing out for me.. I'll take pics of the motor today and see if i can upload it tonight.
cost:
B16 w/ dc header= $1000
GSR tranny = $300
p73 ECU = ??
Mounts and installation = $cant tell you.. lol
Wiring harness = freebie
more to come....
thats what i'm at now.. i'm not really supposed to be telling my prices.. lol shhhhh keep it on the downlow..
just know that the cost of this swap will be less then a K20 motor alone.

titleist, you are correct. the tegs came with a b series engine, but not the b16, they either had the b18b(ls) or b18c(gsr). and maybe the b18c5 (type-r) but im not too certain on that one. From what i remember the b16 was last put in the 2000 civic si (in the US at least).
