Is this the BEST Honda Civic Engine Swap? (Not K Swap) | Boosted John
Today the ultra clean Honda Civic EK Hatchback gets it's new H22 Euro R engine! This is the highest horsepower H series engine that Honda ever offered. I am excited and honored to be running this engine in my car. With that said, today we install the engine, get it running, drive the car, rip the car, and install new Konig Heliogram wheels on the car. This is one of the most content dense videos I have ever made. With that said, if you would like to show support for all the work I put into this video, please consider liking the video :)

💯👌🏻 fuck yeah. I worked on my brothers Prius the other night on acid and was like wow. I did it. Felt pretty impressed with myself.
I used to own a 96 EK with a H22A1, had some work done in the motor and daily drove it with a 130 shot of nitrous. Pretty much killed everything on the freeways. Yes I would go thru bottles about 1 every 2 weeks. Best time of my life.
The funiest part of old hondas is you don't neeed too much power to have fun
The best honda engine overall is the D series in my experience. Sure you get new fancy stuff in the newer Ks and Hs. But you dont get 50 miles to a gallon for every 50 smiles per gallon unless you have a D16.

Great motors don't get me wrong just easier to put your money elsewhere rather than sleeving

“I just want this thing to run” all I’ve been saying with my 99 crv. Original engine lost compression in cyl one so it got a new one put in.

In regards to that belt whine. Check the timing belt tension. If it has too much, you could be killing one of the idler bearings or placing undo stress on the timing belt itself. That is if that's the problem. I had something similar with my F20B. Great work and I look forward to future content. Sick job with everything.

I smiled when I saw the H22 :) K Series are so boring to see these days. Big Block Love.
A lot of engines have a lot of potential if you build them right. D, B, H, F and K. I personally like is the B series because of the sound. I'd enjoy the sound more than the extra power of a k. I also want to build a 1.6 or 1.8 K20. Shave down the deck if possible for a deStroker. I bet a K20 with 1.6/1.8L internals, possibly shave the shortblock deck, it would destroy all 1.6/1.8L circuit track classes.

When it comes to private car sales, the trick to not having to register your car within thirty days is to get the seller to not write the date of sale on the title. I bought my chassis in January 2020 and it's still unregistered because it's been parked and I've been working on it this whole time; I'll just make up an unsuspicious-sounding date when it's ready to go in for emissions testing and plates.

Finally, not a Kswap,
I had an H2B Euro R in my EK although it was fun having the torque the high revving was not there like a B series and the car felt really front heavy while driving it in the canyon or track racing at streets of willow. In the end I sold the swap and went back to a TYPE R K20A much better
@RollingRoadEFI
Жыл бұрын
I bet you had the Accord/Prelude transmission too, right? That’s the reason. In reality the H is only a total of 34lb heavier, and with the H2B swap the stock B series flywheel is much lighter anyway so you save 1/3 of the added weight right there. The weight is an illusion, the placement is everything. With the H2B swap the B series transmission sits in the factory location and the engine is angled differently. The result is a totally different feeling.
