Hey, I know pretty well at this point what my plans are, and as the title states, I've decided that H2B seems like a pretty profitable route. Either way, I've done a pretty decent amount of research and discovered that there are multiple kits available for my swap, and I'm undecided on which route to take.

A company called "EVOlution Industries" makes a decent one, for $900 or so, but I'm really not too sure what all that includes.

The nicest one, from what I've heard, is offered by "Bisimoto Engineering" (www.bisimoto.com/), but it seems sorta pricey. $2300? damn thats alot of money. Either way, this is getting done, so if I gotta spend the money, so be it.

Here's my questions:
-to those who are running H2B, what kit do you recommend(adapter plates, mounts) and why?
-what times are you seeing(conservatively tuned)?
-where will I find the best prices? Maybe I suck at Google, but I don't honestly know the best way of searching for this("h-series motor to b-series transmission" just pulls up way to many hits)

Thanks in Advance.

I've actually got the swap but haven't installed it yet. I've got the Quartersports one though and it's going in a dc. I want the Evolution one though because I hear you don't have to space your hood/cut your webbing for it. If your stuffin this in a civic, depending on what chassis, the swaps are slightly different to install for diff years. You probably won't get much help/info on this swap on Driven as I have tried before to no avail. But check out these sites and I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of what you need to know can be found. Good luck man and keep me updated on your progress.

Thanks man, and I'm gonna need the luck. I'm thinking about starting the tear-down on Friday, and if I it would be useful I'm thinkin' about startin' a thread to follow progress. I've messed with engine work before, but fortunately I should have my buddy there to help(an ASE certified Master Tech), and he has alot more Honda experience than I do. The hardest part is gonna be to save up all the money necessary.

Thanks alot for the links! And yeah, it's goin' into an EF9 HB, so this should be fun.....

See but here's my issue.....it seems like there are kits out there that will clear the stock hood, however QSD's apparently doesnt. WTF? Is there any way to do this without a mustang-like hood cowl?

Hood spacers is what I have done in the past. This was in a eg, now a ef there is no way around a hole in the hood, unless you raise the hood very high in the rear. The plus side is the ground clearance is much better with the qsd and so is the axle angle.

I have a close friend of mine that has an H2B in a 92-95 Civic Hatch. Car is fairly quick and VTEC isnt hooked up.

He is running the Evolution kit. Get the kit that has EVERYTHING, i know its a little much but it saves time and money in the long run. As for the swap itself, you HAVE to notch the back of the block for the half-shaft to fit. It comes with something to go by, go a little more than what it says. There isnt a way around the hood problem. The motor sits pretty close to the ground and goooood luck.

Ill post pics later of the swap.

Thanks. Yeah, either way this swap is happening lol...I'm in too deep already lol

Either way, I'd love to see some pics.
