Thanks guys. Today was a day of mixed emotions and some serious action. I finally managed to get all the stuff in place to get the car going. Actually I found out that it wasnt the axel that was the problem, it was the center shaft thats almost impossible to get. Usually H22s come with their own center shaft from Japan but I guess someone had taken the one from my engine and it gave me hell to try and arrange one. I finally found one attached to an engine in Pindi and bought it right away. The rest was histroy. things started happening quick after that. We went through some wiring glitches but the engine is finally alive. It was coughing and spitting when I left it tonight but it was alive. Thats what counts. Tomorro Inshallah if God willing Ill be able to take it for a spin. Im a happy man today Here are some pics and a video. The pics show the ride hieght after H22 installation, the rear center shaft that gave me hell and new axels. The video is about the first time my engine started.
YouTube - H22a first start after swap
ohh great... i wish tommorow would be the day of relief.
Congrats man i hope you have upgraded your fuel pump as well ..
congrats on the swawp buddy
man look at the it look at the sound of engine it like a disel engine
Thanks for the reminder. The fuel pump is not upgraded yet. But ill be buying a walbro tomorrow Inshallah.
Hahaha actually I cant look at the sound of the engine I can only hear it. And yes it does sound horrible but it will improve soon Inshalla.
upload a vid with the engine start.
no, the block takes much more power.
Nice Project but change the RIMS, as they are not suited on Civic
Ill be uploading more vids soon but for now just focusing on getting the car on road. Once its ready ill uplaod more pics and vids Inshalla.
Wow. You are the first person who ever said that the rims dont look nice. Everybody else thinks they look great. I can change them but only if I find some other nice ones (maybe some original branded ones)
Actually i think they dont look nice as well. you should definitely spend some money on good branded rims and not chinese or some local crap, whats the point of all the work youve done when the shoes just dont look good
Hmmmm well lets see. I have not done any cosmetic work on the car's exterior yet. Only changed the head and tail lights and the rims and that too quiet a while ago. Anyway lets see if I can get nice rims.
Brother... There have been no updates from you.. How's it coming along?
Salam. Actually the car is running but still there are a number of issues that need to be resolved. Im currently getting only 60% performance from the engine due to these issues. Everything is on hold because of eid holidays. Work will resume Inshallah on Wednesday this week and then I will keep updating here.
Goodluck and waiting to see more..
btw, what issues are still keeping your swap from being 100%?
Thanks. Actually the ecu is currently not fully tuned to the performance of the H22. Secondly Im having gear oil leakages probably due to some leaked seal or nut. Moreover, I need to change the fuel pump to a walbro and then do a complete retest of the performance. Once all these are done, specifically the ecu tunning then the car will be 100% Inshalla. I gave it a run on the motorway and it responds very nicely but still the kick in the pants feel is not there yet
Hahah.. I like that.. The V-tec just kicked me in the pants yo? Tell me.. Any updates on the color of the top?
