i agree with rizal-r..
the engine compartment will be packed..especially at the timing belt area.. and most likely new mounting needed to be done..
a fren of mine is using 4 doors EG with H22A.. and yess, the engine bay is damn full. even the mechanic oso pening kepala how to change the timing belt from dat fully-loaded engine bay..
but note this... never ever underestimate the power from the H series.. although the sound of the vtec kick in is barely noticeable...but the power was exhilirating! as for my fren's car - his third gear can reach 180kmh at ease.. i once experienced this.. in his car. side by side with evo 5 from the 1st gear.. even the evo driver also cant believe his eyes..it was cool to feel the g-force provided from the H22A .. too bad his engine wasnt equipped with LSD so the tyre spins a lot - until 4th gear. haha. sooo gotta have the perfect launch then..
his spec - no mods for the engine except simota fat air ram, 5zigen exhaust and customized & remapped computer box (donno who made the chip for him as its still a secret until now. :P )
his rolling stock - enkei 15" with tanabe sustec..
and another thing that made me fall in love with H22A is - the gearbox! he had no problems at all and the gear shift was sweet - even if he uses stock clutch (eventho it is stock, it feels like exedy super single woo)
so frm dat, i think, putting a H22A in EK should be no problem - but juz make sure the mounting is cun and definitely - registered.. donno how u gonna do it coz i think now the conversion for a bigger capacity engine cannot exceed 10%/15% of your stock engine..
but with money... evrything can jalan laa...
cheers :lol:
