h22a?

[Spoon-Accord]

h22a with lumpy cams of corse :P

h22a is a perfect swap for cd5.
Unless you wanted a cheaper option, put a f22b1 (vtec model sohc) in.

if u dont really like the car why would u spend thousands of $$$ doing an engine convo? itd be much cheaper to just go buy something more powerful

[h22a accord]

h22a ...put it in and dont look back. best car/engine combo around if you ask me.

im doing another h22a in an accord soon cos i miss my old car too much.

I'd love to put a h22a + turbo into a cd5.
except i have Financial restrictions .

[BT1_BOY]

H22a it is.... How much!!! entire job, including manual conv.

[CB7_OWNER]

yeah.. dont even bother with k20 or b18... thats for eg's and tegs.....h22a is literally direct bolt on into your cd5.. =) same power.. more torque

[FAT VTI]

h22a manual-2.5 to 3.5K
installation from a shop will be about the 2k-2.5k depending on where you take it.

iv heard H22A's have 187 kw at the fly.... this seems very high... is this true or is som1 taking me for a ride...
btw i know pretty much nothing about Hondas (bought 1 just for a daily/ reliablecruiser)
got the Nissan Skyline for the (unreliable) performance pride and joy drift car. lol

so i may need some help with everything!!! but ye im not 1 of those hopeless forum no0bs who know nothing and want everything
