Does anyone know if a VQ 1995-1996 would fit in a 95 civic hatchback?? or would a lot of cutom work need to be done?

thanks

why would u put one of the best v6 engine in a rice car. Anyways alot of custom work will be needed, not worth the money

Yeah I bet you could do it, but you might as well get an H22. It will fit much better and you won't have to spend as much to get it in. A hatch with an H22 is a damn killer

Luquire

but a vq3.5 in it. now thats a killer

yeah I think it would be cheaper to put a b20 block with a built bottom end and b16 head and big turbo. VQ motor is a civic would be funny, but all that modifications you need to do, I mean I'm not even sure if the civic got enought room over there to put a VQ in. Plus it would be front heavy. Everytime you would step on the brakes it would fell like your back is off the grond, lol.

But then again they put a ford 5.0 or 5.7 racing motor in a focus, which they made RWD, so who knows.

Yes, you can put a VQ in a civic.

All it takes is time and money. The question is, do you have enough of either?

Ever been in an H22 Civic hatch, going around corners it feels like the front end is going to dig into the pavement how bad the weight offset is vs. stock. Might be good for a drag car. I heard this one did mid-low 14's with intake and full exhaust with slipping clutch.

If you have to ask if you can put a VQ into a civic, you might as well be ice skating uphill

Yeah my buddy is running a GSR integra moter in his 94 civic hatchback.. He bought the motor for like 1300. Runs great. All stock motor and runs high 13's Best is a 13.6 and everage is 14 flat. H22 are not the way to go... They are a much slower engine then the b16's

ABK

How the hell did he get that motor for that cheap. And how the hell is he running 13s on the stock motor. That thing is barely capable of running mid 15s on the stock motor, b18 doesn't make enough power to run that quick. LOL that's funny H22 is a much slower motor then b16. You are funny man, another guy who doesn't know what he is talking about.


BTW I know a Integra GSR with a REV Hard turbo, that was put on my Garage Kwai with alot of other mods running 7 psi only runs 13.4, so those motors are not as quick as they seam.

Wait, I thought that the H22 and the VQ30 used the same block? Why wouldn't it bolt up.

ABK

what are you talking about? VQ30 is nissan v6, h22 is a honda 4 banger.

You serious?

ABK

man I don't get it? you are messing with my mind

he's being sarcastic man

I hope he is, otherwise it would be funny

That is the honest to God truth.


VQ does not equal H22.


What are people smokin round here? Because whatever it is, I want some.

The VQ would make the hatch to front heavy. An LS/VTEC would be a better option, cams, retainers, and springs, ecu, and you can smoke every all motor maxima there is.

Ls/vtec does generate nice power gains but are prone to engine failure. There are many articles regarding that hybrid setup. Its mainly for a drag set up and not recommended for every day street use.

this is got to be very darn funny. well listen to this the vq30, was i guess one of nissans most potent engines (aside from the turbo version, and skyline six), the h22, is one of honda/acuras most potent powerplants as well (look at the h23a1 also, also aside from the nsx powerplant) these are 2 very different beasts,

the h22/h23a1 boasts about 190 - 205ish HP from a non aspirated vtec 2.2L 4 banger.

the vq30 boasts about 190-215 depending on the year of the max, from a non aspirated 3.0L v6.

the h22/h23 is one of almost all honda owners' dreams to get under the hood, its very potent by far, and generally bolts up with a number of other trannys and shares some common mounts.

Putting a vq in a any honda in my eyes would be ridiculous, as you have so much more involved like now having to do major wiring for ecu, tranny, axles, mounts, etc... etc..., you're better off putting a h22 in and bolting up maybe the same civic tranny if it'll fit, or slap in a prelude/accord tranny(those are interchangeable). as far as pricing..

vq30 - $200-800 depends on where you go and who you kno.
h22/h23 $800-2000 depends on where you go also, and if ur getting an ecu/axles/tranny to go with it.

p.s. im an ex-accord racer... this used to be my blood.

What's the torque values for the H22 and VQ30 again?

ABK

I'm with show maxima but h23a1 isn't all that great except the torque that it puts out.

iTrader: (10)

Hey show maxima, its normally aspirated not non aspirated. Non aspirated would mean the engine isn't breathing at all meaning the car is off or did you design a new type of engine.

A friend of mine wants to do the H22A into an Integra but he is wishy washy. Evyday he wants to get something different. Today he wants a 240 that is for sale around here. And I thought this was maxima.org not ricevilleusa.com. I would much rather have a poop load of TQ at 3k instead of waiting for V-TEC to kick in just before redline.

Show Maxima

OOPS, thanks man, the little mistakes we make around here... thats what I meant, i'm here at work talkin on the phone, studying and all....

Sarcasm people....come on!

The real question is, "can I put a H22 in my Maxima?"

ABK

lol I think the h22 is going to $hit it's self trying to pull a maxima, lol. The crank is going to rip out of the main journals, lol.... Funny

maxima98vspec

I've seen a H22 in a civic and................its not happening, my friend did it and he said its not worth it, tooooooooooooooo much weight for the civic, and the worst thing was....it was done in a hatch, and i could probably pick up the bakc with my own 2 hands. Now a VQ...........WHAT THE HE** ARE YOU SMOKIN, it must be some good sh*t. puff....puff.....give, lets all hotbox this thread.
