Hey guys,
This has changed my view on H22a's alltogether.
I my dream, (not in real life.... :) ) I Was on the highway headin to the coast and a pretty stocko prelude drove past. I was like sweet, i hope its a h22a (never being up against one b4). In My car it was me and my mate, and in his was the driver and 3 small people. Aged early teens.
Roughly 13.
Anyway we dropped it into 3rd gear and i pulled away but then i herd the vtec roar and he was right up next to me neck and neck. Both changed into 4th and still both even and then both changed into 5th and flying past all the traffic and off the speedo and neither pulling away. After getting abit to fast and noone winning we both slowed right back dowm.
Anyway we cruised together to the broadwater car park at southport and we had a bit of a talk and laugh and i asked him what his motor was. He said its a standard 2.2 but he didnt know the engine number. I poped the hood and it was a H22a DOHC Vtec. But it was completey standard. No zorst system no pod filter no nothing. So his car was just as fast as mine with a completely standard motor + 4 people, aginst mine which has been turbo charged with 2 people. That is UNREAL!!
And mine motor is a D15b7 with microtec Lt8 Management. Front mount. Turbo running 9psi. Basically bolt on with no internals or injectors.
So if your wondering if a H22a has balls i would DEFFINATELY say so, it would be very cheap to get those motors running quick.
Id love to see one on these in a civic hatch with some internal work and a big hairy turbo that would be nuts.
hehe :)
