well i found this JDM h22a OBD 1 [I dono what OBD is] Click Would this be a good swap, or an engine like this one? Later on maybe even turbo it at low psi also? Plus i found that i might get about 300 for the engine I have now, better than nothing I guess.

 

hahahahaha. dont mean to laugh but the k20 has just about 20 lb ft torque less than the h22 but horsepower is just about the same

h22=163tq > k20=141tq

like one of the guys before me the h22 will run circles around the k20

the h22 is also not a good boosting engine thanks to the aluminum sleeves that is carries

 

d16y8 yes it is vtec, and a good starting point if you want a turbo car. and an h22 is a good swap good torque and hp, and availible factory lsd. just an expensive swap, because of mounts and axles and you need to get a shifter from an accord or prelude and run the cables through a hole (you drill) in the firewall or tunnel.

 

how about this then, i have 151k miles on my car like i said earlyer, any way i would get to 200hp with it without losing the reliablity of a DD? And the reason I would rather do a swap because my engine would last to about 200k or a little more then i would have to get another one anyway so why not just do it now and get a better engine.

 

for the price a a swap you could rebuild your engine and get a turbo kit. and make over 200 whp easy. that is if you shop smart

 

like new pistons and cams, i dono what else, and still pay for labor for some1 to do it cas i cant do any of it myself? and while i was looking at the engine code i was looking at the front of my car, it doesnt look like enough room to fit an intercooler there.

 

well i was assuming you would be doing it, but i guess it would be alot of money either way. probably just go with a swap then

 

No way I could do it myself, I'm 16 and all I have done with the engine was take the valve cover off to paint it.

 

why couldn't you do it your self? i am 20 and did my first swap when i was 18, its not that hard to do, its just labor t remove and replace. i had a little help from my friend to do the wiring.

 

Well I know very little about engines and even if I did know what I'm doing, All I have is a rachet set, wrenches, and some screwdrivers so I don't have the tools for it either I don't think.
