Default H22A in 6th Gen 4cyl?

My turbo H22 5th gen got jacked recently.

Im looking to get a 6th gen LX or EX 4cyl.

From my understanding Ive heard it would be a nightmare to drop a H22 into a 6th gen. Is this true?

If so how hard would it be to drop a F20B into a 6th gen?

It's not a nightmare, the same problems with a H22 and F20B will arise.

I just think your wasting your time with either in a 6th gen. imo, go turbo or just buy a damn 97+ prelude since you have to get a new car anyway. hell if my car got jacked...WRX here i come.

I was planning to do a swap and turbo, but if its that big of a pain I may just get a Prelude or WRX. An Evo may be in the plans as well. I just know Hondas well.

If you want a Honda in that price range...get a used 03 V6 Coupe...I've got just an intake and I can beat WRX's unless they really know how to launch. With intake/exhaust/VAFC Vtec controller a guy on V6P.net got 240whp on a 6 speed, good for low low 14's or high 13's. The Accord also is a much more comfortable daily driver than the WRX

yeah but AWD ownz when you live in a snowy region. honestly a 6sp coupe is not easy to find and when you do they are not willing to deal, hell you can't even drive one without showing them money. whereas WRXs are cheaper to start with,plentiful, and dealers are willing to negotiate.
