Was wondering
Quick question, I have a 96 accord with a turbocharged H22a4 going into my baby in a couple of months. I was wondering lets say I get bored down the line with my accord and want to make the change to an integra.
How hard would it be to drop the h22a4 in the integra also what would be involved in this situation? Any insight on this would be great has many people done this. Once again I am curious; thanks any info is much appreciated.

What year Integra?
A couple downfalls of this swap would be:
1. Additional weight, plus an H22 tranny would add an extra 100lbs. Unlike the B series where you can mix and match transmissons with final drives and LSDs.
2. Say goodbye to powersteering and AC. Which might not matter to you anyways.
3. Understeer will be your friend when cornering. No more taking fast turns, unless you want to end up in a spin.
On the upside you get 2.0L Vtec that will own the straightaways.
Also I think some strong aftermarket driveshafts will come in handy.

Moved to Hybrid Forum.
And yeah, swapping a H22 isn't terribly difficult..it just has a fair bit of fabrication involved. The main issue will be retrofitting the cable-type shifter mechanism to the DC chassis (which originally uses a rod-type shifter).
Certainly doable. Hasport would be a good firm to check out if you're considering this.
And as far as weight goes, I think Ground Control makes a spring set specifically for the EG Civic with an H22 swap...using stiffer springs in front to counter the weight issue. With a larger rear sway bar and proper camber, you could still make an H22/ DC handle properly.
