well, the 3rd getn has a b-serise motor in it. in order to fit a h22 in it your going to do ALOT of custom work and all, you'll spend about 4000 give or take a lil just to get the engine running in your car. i'd personaly say sell yours and look for a 4th gen vtec. you wont regret it. as far as years for 4th gen's the 94+ got a interior upgrade, it has a cup holder, the vtec got a nicer looking gauge cluster vtecs came with leather standard if you can find a 94, they are a little bit nicer, but no faster/slower

ive herd rumors the 93 is faster too, but ive beaten my friend 93 vtec with the same mods basicaly as me, it was very very close but i edged out, i think theya re the same. the 93 might be a tiny bit lighter, but thats what my CF hoods for.

well, its the same difficulty of a swap as into a 92-00 civic. you need different axles, you loose PS and AC, there might be some moddification to your engine bay. the swap difficultys were 1 2 and 3. one is a direct fit, 2 is you can make it fit, and 3 is you can make it fit extensive modification. i left 4 out cause that was just "it wont fit"

thats kinda high, ive seen them go for a bit less than that shipped to your door. i'll find the guy who gets these prices and post back. im thinking it was in the 2300 for a shipped h22 with ecu. and you need different axles, although i belive it comes with it.

Well I was telling you about Colin who is getting his CRV/VTEC turbo built up out east. I'm sure he has a few contacts and people he knows that could get one.

well if you are interested we could negotiate if your serious hit me back. see i have a crx that has a b18c5 and i was a little misled when i was told that the h22 would fit. so now i want to get rid of it so i can put more into the b series. so far ive done your basic performance upgrades and would like to continue.
