would an f22a6 fit in a first gen crx? cause thats what i have, and since i was gonna get a ZC, this would actually be better. its sohc though isnt it? the guy says its like 150 hp, so why not. this is only if he gets his H22, but he says when he does, i can have the old engine. also, would my stock tranny hook up to it? cause his is auto and i would NEVER drive an automatic, especially in a crx. right now im working on a turbo for the rex so if i got the f22 i would just slap the turbo on there! :thumbup:

that would be one hell of a swap. I don't even know if the engien bay is wide enough on a 1st gen... The tranny will definitely not bolt up. I think I'd pass on this one...

the f22a6 was the 90-93 honda accord ex engine...it made 140 hp @ 5600 rpm and 142 lb ft tq @ 5400 rpm

for a 88-91 crx/civic the engine bay will require extensive modification to get such a large engine to fit...the aftermarket does not have much for that engine either

a better car for that transplant is a 5g/6g civic where there is more room and the chassis can handle such a heavy engine

and if i'm right...the shift linkage on the f22b6 is also cable that'll require cutting the firewall to run the cable below the shifter mechanism...like the h22a series and other f22b engines

The torque from the F22 will probably make your doors fall off!!!!!!!!

I'd go ahead and sell the F22 is someone is giving it to you and use it to buy parts for your ZC. Get some Crower regrinds for starters!!!

ZC is a dohc engine. It's great. You can get a sohc ZC, just make sure you know what you're purchasing!!! They have a brown cover, I think.

Hack job. No. A turbo on a b-series in a first gen is yet another hack job, just how would you expect to put in a physically larger engine and have enough left of the front end for a first gen to still be driveable? DOHC ZC's come in both brown and black tops, the SOHC ZC's can have black valve covers or the plain aluminum ones.

Kewl. THanks for the clarification!!! Get the black cover DOHC.

good info on zc engines and why most d series engines are really zcs

Actually, he'd probably be better of with the brown cover, they are a straight bolt-in to the 3g civic/1g CRX body. Blacktops have mounts in different locations if I'm not mistaken.

Didn't even see that he had a first gen. This just isn't my day!

ok ya you guys are right. screw the f22 its just not feasible. back to plan A: a ZC, with TURBO POWER :naughty:
