Look at the two 4's on that serial #, they don't look the same......And neither do the 1's.</TD></TR></TABLE>

the 4's look identical to me.............
so do the 1's...........


the 9 looks weird but thats how all the 9s look on other motors.

nope. H22A on the 4th gen JDM Sir Preludes. I should know have seen more than my fair shair of these cars imported from Japan.

I'm going to have to agree with 94vtecmn. The engine may exist (I've never heard of it) but the serial number and B looks like it was put in there with a damn dremel or something.

Prelude SIR-T

was there ever an awd prelude in japan&gt;?&lt; for some reason i am thinking this engine code would go to it. but for sure that one on ebay looks like a fake, but for some reason i do belive h22b might have existed

If there were AWD preludes anywhere, people would be converting these things like anything. Of course there isn't.

OT: Why doesn't anybody do anything with the AWD integra platform? I read somewhere about there being an AWD 1st or 2nd gen integra over in JDM land.

i pulled up the pic here at work and my co-worker who doesn't even have a honda said right away "wow, that B looks hand done" as does the numbers below... either photoshop or someone did up a H22 as a H22B to try to get more $$$

eMpAtHy

well, the B dosent look that off. go look at block codes for a B series. the B does kind of look like it's the same. the 9 numbers for a b18c5 block i took a picture of at the eibach meet looks like it was drawn in by himself as well. what i can say is that the 9 does not look the same. i'd post a picture of the b18c5 block, but it has the guys VIN stamped in the picture and i am pretty sure he is on HT. i dont want to reveal his information.


edit: after more comparisons, the 9 acutally does look the same. the B looks the same as well. the indentation for the B is identical in my eyes. i am talking about the crevice on the right side of the B. look at a 3 and do u see where the dip is. i am talking about that. if it wasnt a b18c5 block, i'd throw the picture up, but i dont want anyone getting his information and stealing his car. ITR's get stolen almost everyday. i dont need to help increase those numbers.


someone write an email to honda of america or honda of japan and ask them about the h22b

possibly call up the parts department looking for a h22b block.

best idea i have heard so far i wish i had time

chrisgags13

or you can just call up the parts dept. and ask for the largest ***** you can stick in your mouth so we don't have to hear this retarded conversation about an engine that never existed

I started this thread hoping someone had a an definitive answer, but apparently everyone knows about as much as I do.

I speak Chinese (as a second language) so I translated that website that a few of you have searched into. My reading skills are a little rusty so I had to utilize the old Chinese-English dictionary and couldn't make complete sense of it, but it seems that the H22b might be a motor that was factory built for the JTCC Accord. If that is the case, I bet it has great performance, but there is no way of verifying that unless someone can get some answers from Honda in Japan.

It looks like they painted the block gray and then etched the letters into the paint.

fastcrxva

Humm... I went and did a search and see accords coming up alot. must be from one of them.

For sure, H22B exist somewhere. If this one is a fake or not... hard to say but for sure, somewhere he exist.

The DX Rex

that block looks like it was painted silver too, maybe to cover up any dremel or whatever they did to put the B on.

RemerLex11

looks like someone wrote in the B and the numbers underneath, id stay away from buying that if you were even considering it.

The Birdman

Don't worry about the B's in these pics, look at the 9's in the two pics. Definitely not the same. The ebay one is slanted slightly like some gay font on your home computer. It is obvious it has been tampered with. The B also slants slightly compared the the "H22". To me it looks like bullshit. As far as the h22b existing goes... Sounds like bullshit to me too. But it's definitely a faked engine stamping. My 2 cents.
