Explain what ur car is doing.. No need to replace if u can rebuild.. A loss in power while in vtak could just be something small.

low oil pressure, low oil, clogged VTEC solenoid, inop VSS, etc. could all cause VTEC not to engage.


any h22a longblock will fit but since you're going to boost(or already boosted) you might as well build your old motor.

375 is cheap to replace a h22 sh motor

yeah id just fix you motor with 80k on it and roll that that.

who puts a motor in when a bad switch at worst is the the problem?

but if you wanna know the answers.

another h22 is the way to go. but why

there is no other motor besides the H22 that you could put in there. you would be wasting your time to try and put a different H22 in there because that model is all wired up for that stupid ATTS **** and you would have to get all that unwired which would be a pain in the ***.....375 is the cheapest you could possibly go...you might wanna read up on H22s and see for yourself how much they run for especially the H22A4 (ATTS) version...

not tryin to dog you bro but why you spellin it 'V-Tech' when it says VTEC on your valve cover?

Check your oil pressure, have a massive tune-up done, Everything, NGK plugs, Wires, Quality distributor cap & rotor, new fuel filter, Valve Lash Adjustment, EGR cleaning with seafoam, new air filter, replace o2 sensors with Denso, replace catalytic converter.

thats gonna run you a couple hundred bucks, but it'll definitely run more prime.

Once you do all that, go get yourself a quality header like the new Tri-Y or Vibrant, ect.

get a quality tuning devise like a VAFC Neo or Greddy Emanage since you got the Atts
