is it worth it????

[coffe_bean26]

is it worth rebuilding an f22 motor or just buying a h22?? is it better to rebuild it or would it cost more? just a few questions, if anyones done it, advice would be nice

im in the same position dude, i have a f22b1 sitting around now but dont wanna waste my time...my f22a1 is on its last leg at 250,000 miles

F22A4 has 130hp (F22A1 has 125hp) to the H22's 200hp. Find out the cost of increase in performance for an F22 and compare that cost to droppin' an H22 in there instead.

Personally, I want to get an H22, but I'd like to do it myself, which means learning more about my engine. In the meantime, I'll upgrade my F22, and hopefully get lucky and find someone willing to trade engines in the future

93 lx models have 140hp.. right? not suree.

F20B ftw, can be found much cheaper than H22 and performs similar but more fun.

if you get it rebuild consisting mainly of OEM parts then why not ? JDM motors while they are under 40K you never know how the person drove the car over there. Plus they dont believe in oil changes.

i got the h22 when my motor blew. i hope its worth it. everyone has told me it will.

Also depends what your future plans are.
If your on a budget and want to turbo, go F22 if not, go H22.

You need to decide your future plans before you make any hard decisions

[coffe_bean26]

yea i plan on doin either or myself, me and my friend were just talkin bout it,weather it would be worth savin the money for an H@@ or just build the F22 already in the car

I went to a JDM motor warehouse, and they dont have warranties for any of their engines. I was so close to a jdm h22a (800 bux) but then he wanted me to sign a paper that said it was sold AS-IS, and he didnt even know the condition of the engine.

Too bad for me... Id say stick to a turbo f22.

[coletrain]

Yeah, see how much the parts would cost for you to rebuild the F22. It'll be more than 2,000 dollars if you get premium F22 parts from bisi versus stock replacement. Or you could just buy an H22a with 200hp for 2,000 and start from there.

go f22b DOHC. I've been working on mine for almost a yr but i want it right. if your going to build and your on a budget buy the motor YOU want and put it on a stand in the garage. if you gotta rush and power is not an issue at the time just put in a f22a to get you through.

[coffe_bean26]

i think i'ma go with the turbo, should i worry about the block at all since my car has like 210k miles on it?

just send it to a shop to have it rebuilt. get a nre oil pump h20 pump and all new seals and gaskets and bearings plus rings. have them write in the contract that they will show you the bearings and rings plus old oil pump and h20 for your own concern on how worn the items were, this is so you wont get cheated out of parts. take pictures of the old ones and the new ones to compare. Make sure uts a business that is BBB. After you do that and break it in I would do the DSM turbo kit. 8PSI max then talk about custom MAPS. for now just save up towards the labor and parts for the motor. dont buy things you dont need unless they break. save save save.
