I've been hearing that in comparison to a b-series, the h22a is not as adequate in the reliability category. Is this accusation accurate? Furthermore, I am to be driving my vehicle year round, which means harsh Alberta winters, so is it realistic to put an h22a in, or any swap for that matter?

 

I would say it will be as realiable as a HONDA motor. Are prelude reliable--yes so I would think their motor in another car is reliable if taken care of properly. I mean it will be more reliable than a frankenstein LS/VTEC thats for sure. As for compared to B-Series motor---i could say they are not as revved as high to produce power therefore less wear and tear on engine--this is for daily driving.

For racing---well that's the risk that we all take.

 

Yeah...

what he said

Whoever told you an h22 isn't reliable needs to wake up and smell my urine

 

!!! HAHAHAHHA
yeah.. h22 very reliable.
reliability w/ a load of power.

 

holy smokes! well then wtf are all these people on honda-acura.net talking about...I guess i never thought about it the way you put it M1. Thanks a bunch Also i noticed that the h22a is not all that much more expensive...wonder what kinda price i could get in Canada...

honda-acura.net has some strange people

 

So does Honda-tech(hot_eg) hahaha.

 

lol..what kind of cheap shot is this!?

It's on Shaughn

 

i had the same fear. ive heard some horror stories about ppl droppin h22a's and having crazy axle angles. Or ppl romping on their cars and breaking axles.

 

exactyl! i've heard things like that also, but i mean, a Honda enginge is a Honda engine right? So really it shouldnt be a worry.

 

yea a honda engine is a honda engine.. ive never heard about the h22a its self breaking down. But what i also heard is if you use some placeracing axles you will be fine.

 

mmmmmm... wasn't there someone posting on here that they're h22a swap made the car shake like **** because of the the place racing axles?!?!?

 

everything on here is pretty much RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS.

only engine vibration can come from your mounts, everyone knows this.

depends on what mount kit you are using and if you are using a drag mount kit.

HCP, HASport and Place Racing mounts have vibration because they are very stiff mounts for drag.

HCP (I have seen so far) has the most vibration compared to HASport. I do not know as for Place Racing though.

for HASport, there is VERY minor vibration and even the slightest, i love the mounts.

 

yeah.. my mounts feel pretty smooth too... (place racing) straight bolt on.. no mods needed. engine sits real good too.. nicely positioned. looks factory..
maybe they wanted it like that huh? or i'm just good?... ehheheh
