Default h22a4 for a jdm h22a

Do you guys think thats it a worth while swap for the extra 20 hp. How much do

you think it would cost for the swap with the sale of my engine. How much does a

good condition jdm h22a usually run for? Is it hard to find parts for a jdm h22a?

not worth pulling a perfectly good motor unless you are bored and got money to burn.

20hp? what...H22A4 and JDM H22A4 are rated at the same hp = 200

honestly the H22A4 will dyno lower...but we are talking about 10 flywheel hp difference here.

H22A4 is really rated at 190hp IMO, dynos don't lie.

yes he is. He's saying for just swapping a perfectly good motor to get 7-8whp in performance it's pretty damn expensive. maybe if it was $200 bucks people would be doing it...but it's like 2500 or more.

well.....no, it would not be worth it, for $300 you could find some jdm pistons, and for like $150 you could find some jdm cams.....there is your difference

$450 for the same performance that the $2000 engine would have given.....
