Default Just Got A 90crxsi For $500.00 And Gonna Do A H22a Swap, Help

I KNOW U GUYS ARE GOOD WITH THE CRX SWAPS SO I CAME 2 U. THIS IS MY FIRST CRX, I HAVE 2 CIVICS NOW THE CRX SO U GUYS GOTTA LET ME KNOW WHAT THE DO'S AND DONT'S ARE FOR THIS SWAP.
1. I KNOW I GOTTA BANG OUT THE FIRE WALL FIRST
2. I KNOW I GOTTA CHANGE UP THE FRONT END SUSPENSION
3. ROLL CAGE IS NEEDED

NOW WHAT ELSE DO I NEED FOR A GOOD SWAP, I DONT WANT A GHETTO SWAP I WANT IT INSTALLED AS NICE AS POSSIBLE. I ALSO KNOW I'M GONNA NEED HASPORT MOTOR MOUNTS TOO.

PLEASE GIVE ME FEED BACK ON ANY H22A SWAPS THAT U KNOW ABOUT. AND NO I'M NOT GOING WITH THE FAMOUS B16/B18/0R B20 SWAPS.. I HAVE A 92 HATCH FOR THAT.

Umm...you'll need a good set of coilovers. So you can balance out the weight.

The understeer is gonna be a biatch in that car.

It'll fit, but it ain't exactly pretty... Glutton for punishment?

You can fit a CRVTEC in easier, with lighter weight, and make more power if built right.

i'm not worried about the coilover cuz i have a good connect for jic magics or tein, but what else will need to be done 2 have a decent drive. i know the handling is not gonna be great but my crx is gonna be a sleeper and built for racing. it will be my money car cuz people by me all hook up there bodys then there engines. they will never expect it cuz the crxsi is a lil banged up and a bit of primer work hahahaaha. nothing major if i wanted 2 rebuild the body i can do it in a minute but no need i have a 00 si and a 92 hatch for that.

also my cuz wants 2 know if the full b20 swap will fit block and tranny?

All except the 4wd stuff from the CRV will, yes. Bolt up a B16 head to it with relatively little internal work done and run 13's on street tires, go all out with a blueprint job, bigger cams, LSD on the tranny and run mid 12's on stickier tires, or go all out with some ITB's on that CRVTEC setup and you'll be forced to invest in a cage to run at the track if you have the traction, and it'll still be lighter and easier to fit than an H22...

So... why are you against "... GOING WITH THE FAMOUS B16/B18/0R B20 SWAPS.."? The H22 would fit in a '92 hatch a lot easier than a CRX...

i know of a 92 civ hatch with a h22

you can shine a several flashlights upwards from under the front half of the car with the hood up, and you would barely see any light come thru
