Rebuild h22a

[cuongn]

just wondering would anyone no:

: how much would a full rebuild "includes all parts" for a prelude 99- vti-r cost?
: where would be the best place for it to be done,
: how long would it take.
: would it save you more petrol when its done.

Cost is up to you, are you just rebuilding with stock parts, or getting new bits and pieces, pistons, rings, rods, cams, etc?

Time is up to how busy the workshop is, or if you're a preferred customer or not, but I've known professionals to have a race engine built in a couple of days.

Fuel saving is unlikely, because you'd probably drive the thing harder, knowing that it has a little bit more. But I spose it's possible.

you can get diff rebuild kits from the states, call up diff places in sydney (inc honda) give them the full list of things to be done and tell them to call you back with a price.

pretty pricey mate...some on prelude australia have jsut done bearings and pistons and it was about 5g. Not cheap my friend. A whole engine rebuild with new crankshaft, cams, valve trains etc will be in excess of 10g.

if your gonna e spending that kinda money on a rebuild u may aswell get some performance pieces rather than stock.
i have a friend in the process of building an animal h22, including sleeving i think itll be around the 10k mark

how long would it take? a fair while, i dont know from experiance but it will also depend on the quality of work.

where? dynodave is the biggest name in building hondas, he'll be the ideal man for the job.

save petrol? well maybe with all new parts and a good tune it wouldnt supprise me, but if u drive with a heavy foot itll be the complete opposite

engine can be in your car and fully tuned within 2 weeks. as long as all the parts are in stock and ready to go!

hit me up with a pm with what you have planned.

i just noticed that, no offense but its pretty silly to consider if it'll help u save petrol when ur forking out 10g on a 12g car...

1. Is there anything wrong with your motor? for you wanting this rebuild?
2. 1-2 weeks depening on what you want
3. If you want to make fuel economy abit better you don't need to rebuild your WHOLE motor. simply recondition your cylinder head and cleaning your injectors will achieve this.

unless your blowing out blue smoke or hearing knocking noises from your motor then you don't require one.

If you want work done give me a pm.

go for it! money isnt everything haha

nahh just that the engine eats alot of petrol and i was wondering if i rebuilt it, would it save more petrol. if a rebulit cost that much, y not buy another engine from japan and put it in, it would be much cheaper, i've lookd in the HPI magazines and i found a h22a for $990, just the engine its self.

Thats fairly optimistic with machinists the way they are. I'd be planning on it being double that time. Speaking from experience here.

But if the guy is just looking to reduce fuel costs I'd be taking it to a workshop with a dyno so they can put it on and check out your AFR's. They may be way rich because of a problem somewhere.
