Ok, first off, Ash....forget all these boost addicts and what they are talking about. Between you and eric you already have a boosted Civic, why do you need two? Since it will be a toy car, go find a high mileage B18C1 and do a full build up on it. No point in dumping $3500 to a low mileage C1 or $4500-$5000 on a C5 when you're gonna gut the motor and replace everything anyways(well, at least I hope you are if this is ur drag car). You gotta stay all motor.....I need some competition here in the St.L.

God onknows what I will do... I just got hired on at citi mortgage making 2 1/2 times more then I am making now, so a new motor may be coming a lot sooner then I planned

So five of my friend have H22a civics that are daily driven with no problems. If you are going to state something, Please check the facts behind them.

92-96 H22a will not handle that boost because of the sleeves. But 97+ can handle a lot of boost on stock motor. So, Stephen Papadakis turbo h22a (Fwd civic) did not last long :ohmy:. My friend sprayed 150 shot (wet) on a STOCK H22a (95 motor). They are not picky, they are built in a different way then B and D series (92-96).

Not true, Dave Newman (aka Newman on HT) took his h22a civic to the track and beat some B18c5 civics and a owner of a B18c5 civic drove his car and later swaped in a H22a into his civic. There is a lot more h22a civics that auto-x and road racing that have no problems with the "extra wieght".

I am not trying to make fun of you OR try to act like a know-it-all but myths have to stop. If you were hurt by my post, then I am sorry. If you have any questions. PLEASE ask me. If I do not know the answer, I have friends that will.

EDIT: I am not "h22a swap are the best swap" kind of person. I like all swaps and I think that you should go with the swap YOU WANT. But if I had a EG, it will be K20a R all the way.

hehe..

I have a few friends with H22 swaped civics...no problems.

Anyway you can do just about anything into a civic anymore...k-series, b-series or h-series....just depends how fat your wallet is.
