H2B Conversion

ok so i will be using Morf's kit from civiclife to complete the conversion, the reason this kit will be used is Morf is a very good friend and will help me do it :lol: and his kit allows the engine to sit in its natural position within the bay so no silly bonnet spacers or oil issues and it saves me a fortune on buying a kit from the states.

ordered so far:
JDM H22A from Bri
JDM H22A ECU from Bri
JDM S4C LSD gearbox from an EK9
Full service parts including:
timing belt kit plus all seals and water pump balance shaft sean and retainer as this has currently walked
and all sorts of other things

i will need to resolve the exhaust fitment at some point and i will need to get the ECU mapped to my car and driving.

there are a few little bits missing from the engine which i am hoping Bri can find and stick in the post for me :)

i am now looking forward to getting the engine on the mount and striped, cleaned & painted.... :mrgreen:

again thanks all and i am sure you will be hearing more from me....

Great del sol. Looks like you've spent a lot of time on other areas of the car, just giving it the heart it deserves now. 8)

Can't wait to see the H2B conversion go in. Keep us updated. :D

I've replied to your PM regarding the chipped ECU. :wink:
