happy with the h22?

Hondas are a bandwagon. i see you own one

I agree and disagree. I believe that most people who "tune" Honda's are on this bandwagon, however those people with truly amazing vehicles and setups did not pick and do not own Honda's because it is cool.

I believe, and hope that they own them and have tuned them because they know and understand the masterful engineering that went into them and allows them to do such amazing things.

I'm happy with the H22a. Just took her out for a drive this morning on my way to the bank and I waited for the car to warm up properly to punch it. I'm always wanted the H22, the DOHC is very pleasing. The swap itself was very easy, only thing I had a problem with was the power steering hose because I didn't get one with the motor so I had to use the f22's power steering, it worked out great the tools i used to bend the f22 hose to make it fit was my old downpipe from the f22 gave it some leverage and bent it nice and smooth. I'm very satisfied with the h22a. Maybe in the future I might convert to a K series swap, JUST to catch up with the modern technology and to find better parts for it. I was just lookin at a member's thread "2point6" he has done a K24 swap and I just find that to be amazing

So the H22 swap is easy? I didnt see any post that said it was hard but it seems all over the swap board people are running into problems with the swap. Im confused. I might be doing this swap but not sure how long the complete swap will take. Whats an average time for the swap? Weekend job? I know i can pull the f22 out within 2 to 3 hours at most. maybe less but swapping it in and getting it ready never happened for me, since i havent done it. Most parts just swap over though right? axles? engine mounts?

Hey Jerry, did you get the H yet????? if so how is it running???? give me a call man if you need some help.

[d112crzy]

yup thats how i felt.



i admit though, the h22 auto trannies arent very tough and really cant handle that power no matter what anyone says. if its 5spd then yes. that is assuming you are a aggressive driver. if not the auto tranny should be fine

Lies. Your experience comes from your misfortune with them.

They are great transmissions. They handle power fairly well for being an auto trans.

Just look at prNonVtecs car. He has an mp1a and pushes 250whp+ during is spraying runs(which I'm sure are more than a few every weekend). He's been running nitrous for a few years now. The key is to properly maintain them.

Anyways, I'm not satisfied with my h22. It's too slow.

i like my h swap vtec is sweet but its time to do more upgrade to make it faster

[NinJa_FLiP]

same here.. the h22a swap is great, but i honestly dont like the gearing for the tranny much.. it needs a bit more midrange power to get up n go.. but the top end is nice.. its my dd and hasnt given me any problems yet..
