I was thinking of doing a swap a while back but was talked out of it by a friend who said that an h22 is notorious for understeer. I always though this was due to the weight of the motor. So how much does the motor tranny and everything else needed for a swap weight? How much does the motor itself weight? Is it the same weight as f22a? As I would rather want to avoid swaping in an engine that would cause me to understeer more than stock.

ive heard the difference in the f/h series is like 50-60 pounds. so not all that much difference. now if you were to put the h22 into say an eg or ef hatch then yes, understeer would be a problem.

yep, its not a huge difference and our cars have understeer anyway. Your suspension setup will GREATLY affect the outcome of how your car handles.

Yep you can fix understeer with your suspension setup. You need to slap your friend since h22s only weight slightly heavier than the f22a as mentioned above. Shit they even did a piece by piece weight thing on honda tech a really long time ago h22 vs d16 or something like that.
