question ...

[jennaccord_210]

ok idk if i posted this in the right place and it may be dumb to sum but i was just wondering about others opinions on this topic....

you line up an h22 accord against a gsr integra

the accord wins

now generally speaking the accord beat the integra ... but ....

"technically" speaking it wasnt an accord that beat the integra it was the prelude motor that won

i guess my point is ... why do you buy an accord just to swap it? why not just get a prelude? i mean if its for the weight of the cars why not drop it into a civic. thats lighter than an accord? i just dont get the whole tuner stuff. ur not tuning a car by swapping it .. thats modifying an accord not tuning it ... i mean for sumone to say they have a fast accord .. its like yea because it has a prelude motor ... but .. how many people actually have a fast accord ... with the motor that comes in their accord????

sumone enlighten me plz


(and if this thread seems ghey .. cut me sum slack ok im bored ... lol)

The whole point of tuning a car is to take the body style you like/love and make it into whatever kind of machine you want it to be.

If you want it fast there's many options yes some include swaps but theres also turbo, nos, supercharges, etc

If you want looks there's lip kits, body kits, spoilers, rims

In my opinion tuning a car is taking your favourite looks/engine/setup and making it work.

For example my favourite body style is a 92-95 civic hatchback.

Right now I have a lot of stuff done to the stock engine to reach my goal of 400whp but that by no means changes my opinion of the same civic with a swapped out engine. I also like front end wise, a cf hood, mugen front lip, stock yellow fogs, blue hids and amber corners. Someone might not like that look but to each their own.

Because the prelude isn't a Cb7 :P

Because preludes are more expensive...

and i wouldn't jump to a conclusion about the GSR vs H22. there is no doubt it would be neck and neck, but i wouldn't go so far as to say "The H22 winds, period".

There are plenty of H22 accords here that would smoke a GSR, but there are also plenty of GSRs who would do the same to an H22 CB

Prelude has it's cons and pro's. But no one of us goes out first to buy a cb and swap the h22 in it. Most of us on here start out with the stock engine, Use it till we get tired of it, Then upgrade to the h22.

The h22 cost around 2300 with tranny and everything. And thats just an upgrade. A prelude with an h22 cost around 7 to 12 grand still for the 5th gen.

It mostly happens because its what people want to do.

Preludes in good condition are rare... cb7's are a dime a dozen (granted not all of them are in good condition).

Also with the right set up I know of plenty of CB7's with the F22's in them that would beat an h22 becuase it was either boosted or just built right.

and for a true tuner... that stuff is fun.

I've done one engine swap and multiple turbo installs I just enjoy that stuff.

They aren't that fast unless boosted, swapped or sprayed

Swapping an h22a into an Accord is an 'improvement'. People buy these cars sometimes for affordability, sometimes because they just like the car etc etc. Take me for instance, I sold my Accord, bought a Skyline, bought my Accord back then sold it again, and yes I kick myself for it every day. Im trying to find another Accord worth buying and its proving to be quite the pain in the ass, I'm buying another because I truly just like the chassis.

Its not all about how fast someone wants to go or whatever, as I said its just changing the motor is a 'subtle' improvement.

Really, any sort of modification over stock can be considered tuning, whether it be swapping the motor, the transmission, the brakes, adding a turbo or whatever.

There are a lot of people who have the stock f22 motors running some good numbers. All it comes down to is the will of the owner and how they want to change their cars.

I don't know if your serious or not but... NO


cb7's aren't even fast when there swapped.




















in all seriousness though...there are a few non swapped cb's that are pushing over 200 hp and thats pretty fast for a 14 year old car.
