Very nice. I bought those just a few months ago. Makes such a nice visual pop when combined with a shiny header.

Any new updates on crank pulley options in EF chassis?
I've tried the OEM and they still rub on the chassis rail.

I have the Euro R pulley from Hmotors, fits. Next time I would use the 1/8" thicker spacer then recommended and shave a 1/8" of the back side.

Either way you still have to bang the rail fairly good.

Edit:
For mine I believe the .25" fit perfectly however I would use the .375" and shave the inside of the pulley 1/8" for the difference.

I deleted my balance shaft, shaved the back of the single pulley (found on EuroR and H23A BT), banged my frame, and put the crank spacer on the outside of my pulley. I'm thinking that the plateless Brough Performance kit might help out. I may be switching to an ATI soon though so that should be interesting.

I'm going to have to shave the inside another 1/8" as well, looks like one flat part is touching, not the lip though.

With the 88-91 chassis is it possible to lower the engine enough to remove the crank pulley? I was thinking of doing a two floor jack system. Need to remove the pulley for anothe 1/8-1/4" clearance which should be perfect for frame rail clearance and alternator alignment.

It's possible to drop the engine low enough to remove the crank pulley. I'm using a k24 pulley and I have less than 1 inch of clearance. I did bang out the frame rail, but it's still has me worried.

I have removed the harmonic balancer by lowering the engine many times in the CRX. And please forgive my ignorance here but, are you saying that K series harmonic balancers directly fit onto the H series? Sounds familiar, but I would like some info on that briefly please.

Yea, I saw Charlie selling that custom arm. I went with the ESP traction bar and have had zero interference issues thus far. However, the car has been down for a while and I am working on another power plant.

Right on, I don't foresee an issue with my innovative traction bar either.

Looks like I need about two inches for the pulley to come off.

1991- How much frame rail space do you have between your pulley and the rail?

Well the engine is halfway apart in the car with the pulley off, but I think it was about 1.5-2 inches. I had to lower the engine in order to remove the pulley, but if it were slightly smaller diameter then perhaps I could get away with not lowering the engine. I wish I had a pic, but the car is down because dat P2V.....

1.5 inches is a lot.

I'm looking at possibly a 1/8"-1/4" after I have some off the back side trimmer. After a majority of people mentioning doing a timing belt swap and having to pull the engine I think it is very doable in the car.

Edit:

Since I am going through all of this I will also be ordering a second timing belt guide. Part # 13622-PT2-010 for between the belt and pulley.

I want some driving impressions. Anybody using this in a dd car? Hows the power? Ive never driven a h22 before, and I think im going to love the torque and power.
At H 22 a is good it'll get you about 200 to the wheels and 170 ish foot pounds of torque but the h23a is where its at you got 230 horse 198 foot pounds of torque @ 3200rpm

Hello all. I am rebuilding my H2B and need help selecting the appropriate cam for it. I have read a bunch, but I don't think I have located enough information out there to feel confident in making the best choice as yet.

I am asking for people's input based on actual experience. As of now, I feel that the best choice will be between Skunk2 Pro1s and Pro2s, but I am open to your input on any cam. The care will be a sunny-day driver, and 1/4 mile toy ran on 93 pump gas. Thanks in advance!

Here is the rough build specs:

Alaniz Competition port head and Supertech valvetrain.
Custom large plenum intake
89 mm bore
95 mm stroke
12.5 compression
Highend header with electronic exhaust cut-out.

Get a hammer. Run any pulley and setup you want.

Will powersteering on an H22 fit into an EK or is the headlight in the way? I dont see anyone running powersteering.

This guy did AC in a EK hatch so if you were to do P/S in place you should be fine. Could always do electric P/S like MR2's use.

Coop, I did not see the H2B DA. Not sure how I missed that. Was it racing? I wasn't in the staging lanes much at all. On another note...motor is in! Only for some mock up though. With all the parts I bought to not bang frame rail, and at least a dozen ppl telling me I wouldn't have to bang frame, guess what? I had to bang frame. Oh well. I've learned many new things on this journey so far, and it's still in progress!
