BS!!!!! More power? Change too many things? Drive like s**t? No, no, and no. Stock to stock the h22 (23) (200Hp 161Trq ) has more hp and torque then the gsr (180Hp 126Trq ). So i dont know what your talking about there.

Change too many things? Have you ever done the swap? Or are you going off of what you've "heard?" Sounds to me like your going off of what you've heard. I've done it and there is NOT that many things you have to change. The longest and most time consuming part is the wiring. But what are you talking about change?

Drive like s**t? Again, what is your basis for this statement? I dont think its first hand experience thats for sure. Comeing from first hand experience myself i can tell you It does NOT drive like s**t. Yes you have to upgrade your front springs to handle the additional weight of the h, but other then that, it drives great.

The only difference between the h22 (Si Vtec) and the h23 (Si) is the 23 has no vtec and the 22 does. Other then that they are completely identical.

Frik - i can give you a better explanation of the things you need to do if you need it.

td-civ - Dont post about stuff unless you have first hand experience and know what your talking about.

You don't need power steering, because a civic is light enough to steer without it IMO. Plus you get way more road feel with out power steering, and that is awsome. It's also a power consumer.

Air conditioning is for panzy's. Just hogs power anyway. Roll down the god damn windows and get on with it.

 

[Hesus]

first, he has already bought that engine and the motor mounts

second, you can not get a B18C engine around the place there he lives (there were no Acura Integras sold in Europe)

p.s.
I have seen Friks ride and it looks awesome 16" rims, full body kit, leather interior

 

[frik]

Thanx

 

[Hesus]

so as far i did understand H23 is the same swap as a H22, but with less wiring, am i right??

 

[td-civ]

man i have done the swap you need to change the front spring the mounts are a pain u can make more power doning b motor over the h motor for the money and get better handling

 

[kellog]

also depends what he wants to do, if he plans on making this a drag car and never auto x. then h22 is the way to go. bost or no boost h22 make more power. theirs a reason why its a 2 litre

 

[frik]

hei people, I want to listen, sorry to read a real examples from expirience, i'm not interesting what is possible and what is impossible

 

[Hesus]

frik:
You want a show car or you will be a daily driver??

 

[frik]

You dont HAVE to loose ac or power steering. HCP makes a bracket for AC and p/s is just a matter of rerouting the p/s lines.

You have huh? What axel setup did you use? What springs? Mounts? What gen civic did you swap it into? Do you still have it in?
