2_slow_2_go

OK so i need peoples opinion on a little baby swap lol...i have a 97 civic hx 5spd and i can get a motor, tranny, and ecu for a good price my question is would it be worth the time and extra money to do a sohc 2.2 f22b swap to my car...and if so im going to need a little info its my first major thing to a car beside dropping a newer d16y5 into mine and a chevy motor into a 78 camaro other than that i dont have much experience thanks and have a good day

f22 is the same as doing a h22. if you dont have much experience and no one willing/able to help you, i would just stick to another d-series, so you can essentially drop it in and start it up.

i already did a dseries im trying to get something with a little more power

the next logical step would be b-series

TATTRAT

fixed

83Stang5.0

sohc 2.2 f22b

HAHA why waste money on that?

Granted it's not the same as an H22, it's still bigger than a D, but just as worthless.

Its a lot of extra work for little gain. Just drop the stock motor back in and drive it.

because im practically getting the f series for free lol

My point is that its hardly any better. Even worse if you are trying to mod the motor. No one messes with the SOHC F series.

If the F22 is free, and you obv had a D series in it, sell the 2 and get a better motor.

You could LS swap it ez mode, and be way better off.

i mean to be honest, id love to swap in a (boosted) f23 in a civic, but the headache of shift cables, making room for the motor mounts, etc isnt worth the headache.
