Motor Mounts

[GeoffM]

This is in off topic because I don't know if it's something I've missed and is actually glaringly obvious

I read this thread which got me thinking:
I thought H22 swaps were common place, and anything else (like a K) required lots of welding and fabrication.
Because of the thread, I found this. That link makes me think K swaps are easy, and that there may be more mounts out there for other swaps.

Are there other mount kits for different engine swaps?

[deevergote]

No. The K mounts are fairly new (and made possible thanks to Hasport and 2point6.)
There are no J mounts.
There is no point for A, B, C, or D mounts.

[GeoffM]

Is/are Hasport the only company of it's kind?

Ie are there other companies making swap mounts?

[deevergote]

Of course. Just not for our cars. Hasport is one of the biggest manufacurers of mounts for Hondas.

Place Racing used to make B swap mounts for the 3rd gen Accord, but they went under
("fuck you deev, i'm buying cheap knockoff parts and I don't care if the real companies go under because of it!"... yeah, talk to the 3geez guys about their limited aftermarket and see how much they like it! /unrelated rant.)

[GeoffM]

Good stuff. Now my plans are confuddled though

I wanted to get a prelude (CB7 H limited I thought), build the H to 300 hp. Put H in CB. Boost F22 to 40 psi and insert into Prelude.
Race.

I might have to get a K and find a 6 speed

[deevergote]

Why not just get an H22 and a Prelude S?

[GeoffM]

IIRC the F22A flows well and holds up to boost.

Wiki says the Prelude S comes with an F22.

I want to take H22 out of a prelude, N/A it to 300 hp, then CB the H22.

The F22 coming out of the CB will be built and then put in the Prelude. I'll then use the prelude as a race car and the CB as a DD.
However, this K swap might have me change my plans...

[deevergote]

Better do a little more research to support this "holds up to boost" claim...
And the F22A really only flows well after the head has been modified. The exhaust ports are pretty restrictive in stock form.

Do your research before you go buying cars for no good reason... It's these "hey, a random thought just passed through my head like an unexpected fart!" threads that are causing people to get irritated with you.
When you get technical, or attempt to, you're going to influence a rash of ignorant noobs asking the same thing you are (or worse, assuming your questions are statements of fact... which opens a whole new can of worms...)

The Official CB7tuner Bookstore!!!!!!

My builds aren't scheduled till summer 2012

[GeoffM]

Oh! And a couple supporting arguments

if there is nothing wrong with the head you have, why would you go with something else? the f22ax flows better than the h22 anyway, just get a new bottom end and take it easy (or just easier) with the boost and you'll be fine!

The H22 head with the F22 compression and low RPM limit isn't nearly as good as with the H22 bottom end (yes, a stock F22 bottom end CAN rev as high as an H22 head would want, but who would trust an old F22 bottom end at those speeds?)

The F22A head flows VERY well, and it does flow better than the H22 head. I'd trust Bisi on that one... he chose the motor for a reason. He's also a record holder for a reason. If the H22 head was a better choice, I'm sure he would've gone with that.

As for the F22B DOHC and H23, I can't say for certain. The room needed for the VTEC stuff on the H22 head is much of what limits the flow capabilities, so the non-VTEC DOHC heads MIGHT be better flowing...

I really don't know much about the f23, but if you just stick with a f22a head, it flows really well from all i've read and seen Deev talk about.. lol

See! I'm not the only one.
