ok i am getting ready to swap the engine in my 97 civic ex and the h22 engine has more hp and is cheaper than a gsr engine but i heard its a rather large engine and i can't mod it (because there is no room) at all after i get it like a turbo and stuff is that true?

It's been done. It fits well into a del sol, I'm sure you'll have plenty of room, you may need to do some cutting though.

you def can do it but you may look into different front springs the h22 is alot heavier. Its worth it though it you only wanna go fast in a straight line.

H22 is a very heavy motor for Civic. I know three guys using that engine in EG hatch backs and they like the straight away power but claim it to be too heavy. The fourth guy in the group with the B16A swap in the EG hatch owns them all every day of the week.

i think for a h22 to fit under a civic you have to remove ps and ac.

Only with boost, depending on the setup, there are ways around removing it even still.

you can mod it...hell, you probably need to get an aftermarket header just to make it all fit....get the hasport mounts and it'll go in like it was made for that bay...

ok everyone seems to say its too heavy so i may go with a b18 or b16 i just don't think the b18 is worth it almost 2k more than the b16 and only like 20 more hp thanks everyone
