well i must admit that it doesnt look like im going to be putting in a K20 its to much money and for the same price i could maybe turbo my JDM H22a, so no i really dont think i will be puttingin a K20.and whats with this talk of B16 who ever started it i think they have the wrong forum
do you already have the h22?
oh, and did you see that post over in pics with the h22 3gee?
H22 mounts I... Pay.. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Hi, i need some h22 mounts for an 89 accord Lx-i. name a resonable price and im sure ill take it. i will pay good $$$$
thank You!!!!!!!
No one makes them. It would be a total custom job and only 3 or so members have even attempted it.
Try searching next time

Thank youuuu... (being sarcastic)
but what i mean is does any one have any from A custom job that they would like to sell?
Locked before you are insulted by the masses
i dont have the h22 yet cuz im waiting to see how difficult this is going to be. where i stand now is that i need to find some sort of custom mounts. Thats why im looking for the people who have actually done this swap so that i can get some pointerz off them and maybe make some sort of deal.......
well, can you weld or can you afford to have the mounts custom made?
since you're just down in daytona, you could come up here... i have a car up here with an empty engine bay, and i'll sell you the engine cradle for $20 so you can start work on it...
your best bet is to buy a whole prelude front clip... maybe even a whole prelude parts car... that way you get the wiring and all the electronics, too...
Yeah, i definately agree with Vanilla. Your biggest problem is not getting the engine in the bay, it's making all the electrical stuff work and fit.
A front clip would probably be good, but I think the whole parts car would be best.
You know, somebody just found a 3rd Gen accord with an H22 in it. I think it might be in the accord pics forum...
So, yeah, best bet would be the parts car, and lots of time and money. What's your budget?

there were only two H22 swaps done in our cars. I was finished and the one never got finished. Both guys haven't been on the board for along time.
Alex.
Haha, you need to wake up from fantasy land. ONLY 3-5 PEOPLE HAVE ATTEMPTED THIS SWAP. THEY ARE NOT FREQUENT BOARD VISITORS. You would probably get more answers and help by talking to the wall.
No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
even though i've not done the swap, i'd probably be quite a bit of help... dude, just get in touch with me and lets meet up at my place, take some measurements, then go to the junkyard and take more... we'll get an h22 in here if you have the money to get all the parts to do it proper...
ill be the hard head and give you 35% of success rate. WHy? cause its not gonna be done in two months as per your deadline. From the begining i had a feeling you underestimated this project. i promised that i will keep an eye on your progress and its been a week already and ur at the same place as before. you got about 14 more weeks to go. It was given fact that you need "custom mounts" regardless and you sound like it came to you as a discovery.
All i can say is that, with the given amount of time, i wish you all the luck in the world. Get the motor, its your first step. Drop it in and line it up. take measurements and do your own stuff. Do not wait around and try to get pointers cause all you will be getting is personal opinion since people who have H22 motors are not members of the forum.......... atleast i have not seen them to be active.
yea, well the people that were supposed to be helping me with this swap have doubts now (mounts). But i think i will get a junk accord and place the H22 in there so that i can get all the measurements and so that i can hopefully pull my current motor out and replace it with the h22 and already have all the measurements. or i could replace it with a prelude front end, or...... i'll figure something out

I would say get an Accord front clip and a Prelude front clip. Sit them beside each other and go at it that way.
I'm not as big of a dick as you might think. I congratulate you for being steadfast in this swap decision and wish you luck. One more running H22 Accord is a great thing.
No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
i have a shell you can buy
I think the f22 out of the newer accords have the same mounts??? those should be cheap. I looked at a Prelude last month for $900 but it was the h23 there prices are falling. I too would get the whole car if you could.
You could make the mounts outta plywood then take them to a weld shop and get them made. Any weld shop could do it for you. You can rent migs by the day here from Air gas if you wanted to take a crack at it yourself.

yeah, the h22 is a direct swap for the f22...
and FYI, even h22 ludes ehre in running, operating, road worth condition are only about $3500... i'm very sure he can get a running parts car for less than a third of that... just gotta call up junkyards and talk to friends...
h22 is a compleet no go with a g3 a g4 will work a g3 even efi dosent have all the other emition wiriing shit that comes with the h22 u will need a whole wiering harnes that comes wqith the h22 and u will have to splise it in and its a big paine in the ass i knew a guy who was trying one on a carbs civic he dropt like 2 and a half geez and the thing woldent work wee coldent get the wiers sorted out it cranket and wee had no spark then spark then no fule found fule then the fuses started burning
the car never ran then the ecu got fried and the guy sold it for 2 grand for some one els to finish it so its not worth it get a after market cam for ur stock motor polish ur head and port it get a biger t/b or a webber if ur carbd dont bother with a motor swap unles ur loaded with cash and cant care where u wasete it
holy bad grammar, batman!
the wiring is the easiest part of the h22 swap. For those capable enough to even try the swap, wiring is easy.

yeah, all you have to do is take off your fenders, tear apart your dash, and viola!
no actually, it's not as bad as it sounds. he's right, it's not hard to run harness wires.
The hard part is finding all the right wires/ecu/intermediate harnesses/etc.
At least, that's what I would think.
Actually, I think the whole thing sounds like the hard part.

ok so you think a b16 swap is a waste of time ? but the amount of time and money you will need to spend putting a h22 or (LOL) a k20 in a 3g isnt a waste of time !? please do us all a favor and dont post about this anymore untill you have pictures .
Jay
i dont really care about this worthless thread, but i just wanted to throw in my IBTL...
i have a sneaky feeling this just isnt going to happen... but i would be happy to be proved wrong... so come along with those pics now... ;-)
Man Vanilla, You are one devoted 3 geer. You are always willing to lend a helping hand. Rock on man.
