Ok break down of what all this is...

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.

 

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
