please dont come on here attempting to brag about what you've done, especially when very few people can vouch for your work. you'll get shutdown. fast. anyways, to drop an h22 into that thing youre going to need custom fabricated motor mounts (~$1200) a jdm h22 ($2500) a lot of wiring work (~$1100) probably a lot of torching to get an h22 to fit into that thing (~$1000) an LSD (~$500) a new guage cluster, power steering, new ac lines, relocating just about everything else under the hood (~$1000)
and thats if you do everything once. considering most projects end up covering the same steps 2 or 3 times, youre screwed. i hope your name is doogie howser to cover this project. just buy a civic and put a body kit thingamabob on it and get some subwoofers. or just get your license...

Motor mounts, custom- ~1000 bucks
B18C- 2200 bucks
wiring harness- 200 bucks
no need for an LSD right now
no need for a quage cluster, just a tach.
no need for power steering
There is gonna be some expensive custom wiring though I would guess. carbed motor to a multi point fuel injected motor won't be a walk in the park. ~$$$
Axles custom i would guess- $$$
There's a reason people haven't done this project before.....It's not worth it. Go with something proven. There's also a reason CRXs are common with swaps....it works good and it's fairly easy

alright alright let's not get out of hand here 
B18Caccord a few words of advice:
People aren't going to take you seriously 1st of all because you're 15. 15 year olds have a bad reputation when it comes to cars. Your name doesn't help much either since you don't have a b18 powered accord, and your profile says things like...turbo of course
People here will give you a quick dose of reality, which is what you're getting in this thread.
If you know (or think) otherwise, go ahead and prove us wrong. Don't sit and argue about working on cars or being in a team because all of that doesn't prove anything. You came here asking for help, so I'm telling you, call accuracy automotive if you need information, most people here will not take you seriously enough to help you.

your 'race team' doesnt look like they race too much. all the cars are slow piece of crap rice burners except the b16 hatch...
by the way you'll need a lsd if you plan on going anywhere with 220hp underneath a hatch. but no way, why would you want that? the other engine is type arrrrrr yo.

Vtecnology - i was using an h22 as an example because itd be the smarter swap. 50 more hp than the b18 and a lot more torque. yea id much rather have a b16 crx than an accord with a b18. or better yet, why not start with something already fast...
