Ok break down of what all this is...

Engine code, displacement in CC, hp @rpm, tq @rpm, CR, borexstroke, valvetrain, VTEC? OBD level, years/makes/model

F20A 1997 150@6100 137@5000 9.5:1 0 0 dohc no 0 1990-1993 Accord 2.0Si (JDM)
F22A1 2156 125@5200 137@4000 8.8:1 85 95 sohc no 0 1990-1993 Accord
F22A4 2156 130@5200 142@4000 8.8:1 85 95 sohc no 0 1990-1991 Accord
F22A6 2156 140@5600 142@5400 8.8:1 85 95 sohc no 0 1991-1993 Accord
F22B1 2156 145@5500 147@4500 8.8:1 85 95 sohc yes 1 or 2 1994-1997 Accord EX
F22B2 2156 130@5300 139@4200 8.8:1 85 95 sohc no 1 or 2 1994-1997 Accord DX/LX
H22A 2157 190@6800 152@5500 10.6:1 0 0 dohc yes 1 or 2 1994-1997 Accord SiR


Simply put the H22a w/ 190 hp would be his best bet, but I hope he doesn't count on cornering ability.

My advice:
He'd have a better chance and 5 more hp (although 20 less ft lbs tq) swapping in a USDM Integra Type R motor, the b18c5. cams/jdm header/exhaust/intake and a few other tricks and you could get 200 hp easily from that motor.

I'd definately go B18, but my opinion is a bit biased

Thanks guys...i told him that i belong to this GREAT forum and i told him i would ask...
thanks again

would anyone here recomend a d16a6 over a y8 or z6? i found one for like 300 and i was woundering\
do you guys know the hp?

108, non-vtec. go for the vtec if you can afford it.

Yes, there's a "Replacement for Displacement". Its called Volumetric Efficiency.

oh yea deffinatly...i wasnt sure of the specs but now that i know never mind...its not worth it a full motor swap for like less then 10 hp gain from my stocker
thanks
