Ok most people do elect to go with a B series, but even then the weight difference between the B series and the h22 isnt enough to be the difference between this problem occurring and not occurring... the difference if im not mistaken is around 40lbs give or take a few lbs from the B and H series... so minus the ps/ac on the h22 and its not as much of a difference as you think.. so get your facts straight before you start your normal shit talking...

 

yeah, the H22 only ways about 40-50 lbs more then a B-series motor. The problem with the whole deal is this:

1) Place Racing H22 Mounts blow. They have little product testing and almost no engineering time into the design of the mounts. They use a cheap welded metal design and the powder coat it all to make it look pretty. They just copy others designs, mainly HCP. but the mounts generally are really bad copies and the orientation of the motor is not consider that much. The engine mount applied a load to the frame rail on some angle that it wasn't designed for, so it tore out of the rail

2) the weld used to fix the mount probably weakened the metal even worse. its been established that whoever did it obviously didn't know what they were doing. the heat might have been to high and the he could've welded in one spot for to long, while pouring on all that extra metal. Its a common known fact that metal warps and stresses while being welded.

3)Honda does sell that piece of sheet metal that goes in front of the shock tower. Its actually a common thing to replace in front end repairs. Go to a body shop to have this fixed, probably replacing it is better...just have them weld in a new one, and you'll be fine.

4) after everything is fixed, replace mounts with HCP or HASport mounts.

 

couldnt have said it any better myself

 

Not to mention the tranny is quite a bit larger/weighs more than the D/B series tranny as well. It's just not a great idea to start with and can turn into a big disaster (such as this case) without good engineering and product testing. There are plenty better alternatives to make good power than to try and stuff a H22 into a civic.

 

Did i ask for negetive comments or any other pointless shit in this thread? no. so either give me some worthy advice or stay out. There are some people on here that actually give good advice and dont just sit around talking shit to get their post #'s up. You're not one of those people giving the worthy advice. so please if youve got a solution please state it, otherwise get out, you are getting this thread off topic.

 

To the rest of you that gave me good advice, thanks alot, i am probably going to take the car to a body shop who knows what they are doing, and buy a ENJO mount kit, mainly because it has the front cross mount that supports most of the weight of the motor, unlike these junky place racing mounts. once again thanks alot. I guess im going to fix this problem once and for all, i need to support that motor before it gets boosted.

 

sorry, some people just irritate me when they are just starting more pointless non-sense in a topic that doesnt need it. im already frustrated enough, this thread is to give advice or post ideas, not to ramble on about your oppions on h series vs. b series, find another topic on that and post in there. hopefully thats the last we'll have to hear about that. just had to get that out. thanks to everyone who helped me out.

 

hahaha, as my auto tech teacher says " those welds look like a bull blew its noose on it" or how about "that weld looks like chicken shit"

 

This topic is going downhill..i already know the weld is shitty.. thanks, ive had 465 other people tell me that. i do not need any more.

 

what solution did you decide to go with on this matter?


If I see another flame in this post. it's going to be closed.
