ok so i was wondering..the guy here at a local JDM shop wants 5500 CAD for a h22 type-s 98 very clean full kit..electronic LSD tranny everything...

i was wondering if this first of all is expensive (sorry i dont have the curent x rate)

then the guy said that he might take my 97 h22a4 engine for a trade plus some cash...but im not sure how much i should look to get a trade for ...

my engine has 76 000 miles and it dosent really burn oil...and goes really well..

now my other question is...should i look for type-s parts instead and just work my 97? although i know the 97 dosent have the same crank journals as the 98-00

thanks

 

how many miles on the Type-s? or is it completely rebuilt?

 

if you have that kind of money(5500) to spend then youre better off spending it on your current motor. with that kind of cash you can easily out perform a type-S

 

not sure of the milage on the engine...
but your right i guess for 5k i could easily do something to get better power than a type-s

 

5,500.00 CAD
Canada Dollars =
4,948.27 USD
United States Dollars

dude, that's a lot of cash, you could get your current motor running pretty sweet with that much money..
header, high flow cat, cat/back, intake, cams/springs retainers, maybe even springs/struts w/ all that (depending on what you buy). what is your current setup? any mods? i'll price together a sweet setup for that much cash...

 

it depends on the milage and codition of the engine for something that expensive i would check to see if the harness was cut and see if there was a compression test to check for leaks

 

What's an electronic LSD?

 

shutta if your that bored piece together my turbo kit so i can be lazy

 

If I were you I would get this:
Crower/skunk2 springs (I would get crower just personal preferance) $450 the sell the titanium retainers that come with the springs if you get the Crowers.
Stock retainers(not worthe getting titanium IMO)
Skunk 2 stage 2 cams $660
SMSP or RMF header $1200
Quaife LSD $800
Hondata intake manifold gasket $50

Total: $3155 + labor

And you could probably get some type S pistons installed and still be under your $4900 price tag.

I would just stick with the motor that you have now and mod that. Its your best bang for buck. I wouldnt get the titanium retainers because you have to replace them around 16k if I remeber right and its not worth it for an extra 500 rpm but this is just my opinion.

*edit: Ive never heard that the 97's have different journals then the 98+ Is this really true?

 

coll thanks everyone for the comments and tips, well i dont know for sure (as in i didnt take apart a 97 and 98 to see the diff) but a 98 + crank does not fit in a 96 97 h22

 

wow the retards are showing up for this thread....

1) unless i am incredibly mistaken, type-s's were never brought over to north america,

2) that means, he either has a 98 type-sH or its the engine and tranny by itself (if so, then wtf does a full kit on an engine mean?!?!?!?!)

3) whether its an actual type-s motor or a type-sh lude, they both have ATTS, which is not an electronic lsd, lsd locks both wheels so they are spinning the same speed in a straight line, ATTS diverts torque to the outside wheel while turning

4) for ~$5000 usd or canadian, u could buy a set of oversized type-s pistons ($2-300), new rings ($100), type-s cams (couple hundred???), and u could prolly find someone to install all of them for $500-1000 and end up with the same motor...

5) if u do number 4, for that much money u could have done a lot more stuff to increase power

6) for the $5000 the "type-s" motor costs, u could have a 250-300whp turbo'd lude (thats about the max before needing to resleeve), or a 220is-whp N/A lude, both of these are at least

before u do anything, 1) ignore the rest of the people in this thread (cept for Boarder) and 2) spend the next 6 months reading on this site learning to figure out 1) what mistakes other have made that u can learn from and 2) how to identify people like this who know nothing cept what their APC friends tell them is cool

 

haha sorry for the full kit..byt that i meant tranny and motor...not axles bla bla..

but thanks for clearing that up
