EJB18 C5 or CB7 H22

[redciv1]

trying to figure out what project to do next. I owned a 95 civic but never had a chance to do a "Real" swap, but I loved the car. Only did wheel/tires/suspension,exhaust but I loved the car. It felt so sporty and not like a compact car.

I bought a 93 Accord and performed a H22 swap however it was automatic so I didn't get to enjoy the real fun of it.

Now both vehicles are gone and I drive a Legend as my daily. But miss shifting gears in the Civic so now trying to decide what next. I really liked "ALL" you can do with the Civic, unfinished business basically with the civic. The Accord on the other had was pure fun. The torque of the H22 was too much fun, however I never really "finished" the car.

I also thought about combining the best of both worlds with a H22 EJ. Not concerned about extra weight because suspension will be done with GC coilovers.

All I know is that the Legend is good for a daily but I realize it's no high revving Honda 4 cyclinder.

put the h2b in the civic and drive the shit of it.

I thought about that H2B but isn't that more for racing. This will be an all around car. clean but dirty and grimy when it needs to be.

Would I have to use the B axles?

too much torque???? NEVER!!! HAHAHA go with a jdm h22 in the ej and you will shit ur pants when u stay with an s2000 all day.

I think I am leaning toward the H22. Nothing against the C5 but I love the way the H22 felt and had passing power like my 3.2 V6 in the Legend.

get an h22 and put it in a cb7, its very much a sleeper, i had one with a jdm H and it was of course a 5 speed, im a tall guy so civics and integra are too small for me, but go over to cb7tuners.com and check what some of those guys do with a h22 in a cb7, its direct fit, just plug and play, i drove and 94 accord with a jdm h and lsd tranny and that was crazy, and the cd5 weights a bit more than the cb7, plus you dont compromise safety with a cb7............just my 2 cents

h22a rules *****

Thanks, But I already did the H22A/CB7 swap, but it was an automatic. Loved the power but slushmatic was not fun. LOL, I guess it was rare since there were no H22A's with automatic here in the states. Still thinking, but I did come across some wheels that I previously had on the Civic. Luckily, Civic ans Accords usually run the same dual pattern. Gonna pick up the wheels and cross that off my list.
