on how much a H22 swap will cost with a 5speed swap all done from a shop.
need to know asap because im gonna buy a 06 civic instead if i can get atleast 4500 for the cl on trade in

 

Wow thats a dilemma, but are u talking about a Civic Si? or Regular slow one?

 

5speed sedan.....so i could take a chance to swap the engine and tranny for 4k but i dont want the engine to blow, and i've heard some horror stories about them blowing shortly after installation.

 

who told you that shit..engine blowing up after installl..WTF

ask around and find a shop that knows h22s and install it, rip it and enjoy

 

how reliable is the h22 swap? anyone go more then 2-3yrs with having to put in another new engine? i dont want to spend anymore then 5k on this car.......

 

forget the new Civic i drive those things all day at work, nothing special. sure they look good now but in 5-10 years there just gonna be another civic. unless its an Si, you shouldnt waste your time.

gaurenteed if you do an H22 swap for your CL, you'll never wanna get rid of it. but im in the same dilemma your in. im about to buy a H22 complete swap for 2g's even, and now i need to find a shop that installs them at a good price and of course knows WTF they are doing.

 

good luck finding a shop.

 

idk the cl has alot of stuff that needs fixing...like the whole exhaust system, the radiator needs replaced, and the fuel system is acting up. and idk if its worth keeping anymore, the new civic isnt anything special but atleast it can travel more than an hr w/o heating up really bad

 

My old one is still going - i sold it but its still running strong, new owner slapped a jacksonracing SC on it - swapped it in 2002

 

^^so whats exactly are you driving these days???

 

me?.......the cl.....i have to drive it to get to work, its my only transportation. i cant go anywhere besides work because im afraid to drive it

 

He's driving his CL, that he just did ALL the LED swaps on

 

i already offered you my mechanic

 

The problem people have been having with the h22's is when they have run turbo setups. why dont u just build ur f series and not worry about all that crap.. take ur 3-4g's and replace everything but the block. I think ayougo did that when his timing belt broke.

 

if you have the funds, drop the H and build it.... it shouldnt ever pop with the proper maintenance.

 

buy an engine...build it first then drop it in....personally mine is sitting in my garage and its getting build bottom up and im doing a auto to manual swap and engine swap with the help of my friends and my other friends dads garage so yea just be patient and dont rush this

 

i kinda need it asap...

 

Dont waste your money on a reg. civic. Your downgrading bro. Yeah your CL may have problems, but its gonna cost less to fix than buy a new car. Look for a used TL or something. So much nicer and even more power.

Thats what I keep telling myself anyways. That and its paid off in a year.

I agree with 97. Its just gonna be another civic and your just gonna be some kid in a ricer civic.
I am starting to see more and more of them. I mean just over the weekend I saw 3 si's.

 

Acutally.. I was thinking of getting a second gen CL or do a H22 swap. This CL is killing me with it's lack of power and auto sh%t.

or if i win this

4500... when ever your ready come up to NY...

 

hmm looks like im gonna have to take it to philly or ny to get this swap done........is there anyway to get the whole swap in for less than 3k?

 

3K

Including auto -> 5 speed, no

only if you do the work yourself, and its pretty obvious from some of your earlier posts that changing a light bulb could be a project.......goodluck

 

it would take me months to do an engine and transmission swap

 

the answer to your question is no - ante up biaaaaaaaatch

 

no i was talking to Mach30SIR.

and arber is your mechanic located in shaolin or elsewhere??

 

good im glad your not getting rid of your car, i remember you were thinking of getting rid of it, good choice
