Paul_Batman Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 H2B PLANS My car is coming off the road for a year in january to get a h2b conversion so im just looking for as much info as possible, i previously found info on the h2b swaps on an Obd1 civic so was a bit easier with wiring if i went with a h22a, but im looking for info to convert my mb6 now which is obd2a, so im guessing the easier and better option of a h22a7 would be better? ive tried using the search button but wont let me search H2B or H22 for some reason, i did find a topic which led to an ebay add but nothing helpful =/ My List so far:-H22a7 block with ancillaries (obd2a i beleive)Morf H2B (no longer available so will have to look at the more expensive kits)Aftermarket B series mountsS9b Gearbox B Series Hydro Clutch Kit ExedyLightened FlywheelP30/P28 Mapped/TunedManual timing belt tensionerAdjustable Decat any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chandler Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 oooo that should be good was planning on doing a H22 swap but i had other bits to do and a lot less money than i have now :/ cant wait to see some updates mate!! this one sounds like its going to be a good one to keep on eye on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_Batman Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 im not clued up on the b20 swaps i just know they can be a pain to set up and get the right bits! i priced the h2b swap on an eg and found it quite cheap for the amount of power upgrade over a b16a, but problem is that was on a morfs kit and ive now heard he has stopped doing them so instead of £250 kit your looking at £1k but it will be off the road for a year and ill have the b18c4 to sell minus the shafts, mounts and gearbox so every little helps towards the cost. I'm not going to rush it and going to spend the next 6 months researching. weight isn't much of an issue im sure i read a h22a7 with gearbox is only 20kg heavier than a b18c4 but alot more torque and im pretty sure the s9b is shorter geared than the h22 box and ill keep the lsd, then further down the line when i have more money can go 96 spec s80 box =] im sure on the facebook page there was an mb with a h22 i wouldnt mind having a look at his build thread but cant find it =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 have you maybe thought of a british company? i know that the foreign stuff might be slightly cheaper, but getting it in the UK means you can make sure it fits etc, if it doesn't you got the chance of sending back?just a thought man.also give MAZ and Hond-R a call, he is a Honda GURU! also try companies such as Tegiwa and honda Performance Parts Wharehouse (honda PPW)they are good companies and have been helpful for me in the past. also if your not on CivicLife yet, i would head over there for some help on this conversion, they have lots and lots of info on different builds!!
