From what i gathered it's never been done before in the front..... Well i'm going to attempt it :)

 

Here's the mini

 

 

 

And here's the Donor car

 

 

i'll try update this thread just on the engine swap :)

 

 

Wish me luck, here's hoping the h22 isn't too wide :)

Is it a 2.2?

[obriener2054]

yes a 2.2

[flatline]

And you plan to fit it in the front? crazy but cool 

 

My mate has a 2.2 prelude,i think thats 200bhp standard and he might have to scrap his car so ill keep an eye on this one hehe

[obriener2054]

i plan to try :)

 

mine is from an accord type R .... most powerful h22

[revolution12345]

H22 is a serious weight. Be more advantage to fit a lighter less powerful engine like the B16/b18

yes and no because remember the more weight the more grip (to a point obviously) so theres pros and cons.

h22 should be pretty awesome!

just starting mine as well! how much id you pay for the donor?

how many miles? and where from! tell us go on you know you want too

Interesting.  Never liked the Accord Type R H22 engine/gearbox combo.  When you change up it drops out of VTEC.  Much prefer my B18C6

block and gearbox of an H series is about 12kg heavier than a B series..... i may go H2B depending on space issues

As for the weight debate, again most people hear things but don't really actually know.. after searching on here about the h22 there is a lot of things said about them that is wrong, like the quote above for instance

Fantastic idea and one I have certainly had myself!

I have had about 5 H22's over the years in Accords, preludes and even in a Eg covoc before. Best one was out of an import Prelude, H22A2 with the LSD box which I believe is the same as, or similar to the accord Type R motor?

I imagine the cable shifter will be easier to work with that the rod set up of the B's.

Fantastic idea and I look forward to seeing how you cram this in there!

Good luck.
