allmotor tyep s bottom end swapage?

[h22sparkle]

Okay I was thinkin if im gonna do allmotor go out literally with mild next to wild. It just so happens that my boy is sellin his h22 type-s bottom end with oem type s pistons shopuld i take that and slap that on mine. So all i have to do is add the rest like cams and stuff to the head to be makin some power without having to do my original bottom end saving me the downtime?

How much more power does a Type-S make? Is that the 220HP motor? I think if you can do all the work yourself it would be worth it...otherwise bolt-ons and cams should be good. Somehow I think it would be a better bet to get lightweight pistons & rods though, as they're brand new and you can get higher compression. I think I heard somewhere that the main difference is in the cam profiles.

I was thinking about pistons and what not but maybe the milling the head a lil would help. Plus it's a good excuse to get a cometic headgasket

Using an aftermarket piston requires sleeving the block. There currently isn't an aftermarket piston that is compatible with the H22A's FRM (Fiber reinforced material) sleeves. So changing pistons and rods would require a costly expense. Since the Type-S pictons are OE, they will work fine in such a sleeve since they where intended to be there.

The Type-S bottom end has an 11.1:1 compression ratio, that is .5 over the stock JDM H22A's 10.6:1 CR. That is good for a few good whp 4-6whp maybe even more with good tuning. Then the cams, and head material/porting of the Type-S engine make the rest of the power. The tune also is slightly different.

h22sparkle,
Depending what you get the bottom end for and it's condition would decide if it where a good deal. Remember it's still an OE bottom end, It's not fully built, but then again that can be a good thing since it is OE you get OE reliability, that is if you don't kill the shit out of it.

How much money to you have, maybe getting yourself some Type-S pistons .020 over with some econo billet rods for your block wouldn't be a bad idea. Just get yourself new bearings, seals, oil pump, line bore the block, as well as the holes, and do it up. Your're looking at a $1500-$2000 rebuild but now you know what you've got instead of investing money and time in a mystery.

Im goin oem type s pistons and im shotpeanin my rods . 11:5:1 on pumpgas tuned is just riht for me. And its a daily driver i dont want any pingin and with busted lx's chipped p28 program with tuning I should be set. You see if you had a h22 gloryaccordy youd know about the h22 but you dont thats how you got beat the first time. Its all about knowledge brutha.

BUstedlx I see what you mean about the build im takin note. Better safe than sorry.

The H22 engine with 220 hp is the euro type-r accord motor. do you have an H22 already in your car? If it is JDM H22a i would just stay with that bottom end. just do some aftermarket internals.

Actually it's an SiR Spec H22A. It's available in the JDM Prelude Type-S (most popular), in the JDM Accord Euro-R (with the extremely desired intake manifold), and in the EDM Accord Type-R.

Hey I was just givin my $.02. I mean you're the one asking questions. Anyways I think the Type-S head would be best w/an aftermarket bottom end. Unless your friend's giving it to you for cheap that's probably the best route. Brand new parts>used parts.
