what my concern is that the h22 will not fit in my hatch. I will have pics up later. My hatch is strip down to nothing. all that is left in it is a roll cage the steering wheel and all that is needed to switch gears. i aso have another question. i have asked other racers about racing clutches. i am new to all the mechanical work. what racing clutch with run good with the h22 if i get it.

I'd stick w/ a B-series, like a B18C.

You might also want to try the EF forum.

Why? A single turbo is fine if not better.

what narrowed your search down to a H- series anyway? The B-series have proved themselves to be just as powerful as the h-series. I would stick to the b-series ... more parts.... = more fun!!!

a twin turbo'd h22a in a hatch is a super tight fit if it fits at all, engine should fit no problem, but throwing 2 turbos in it will definatly cramp the engine bay.

What type of racing are you looking to do , Autox or drag? that will help guide your decision. Try looking into a turbo'd b20 vtec. H22a for swap in any car will need a good suspension set-up to carry the extra weight nicly.

also ever think of a turbo'd b series with nitrious?
