Greetings all,
got a sweet 92 accord EXR-black of course (f22a6)

pretty sure syncros are going in th tranny, so im looking at either a tranny swap or droppin in the jdm h22 same amount of labor more or less?

and ideas where to find a "rebuilt h22" not a jumk yard one thats been shipped over from JPN

Thanks

j

Labor will be more, most def.
What sites have you been looking at for motors? I know of several people that have swaped and are fine on their Imported JDM engines...many of them boosted for years so the engines were in good shape when the received them...

 

i got a jdm f22b dohc shipped with tranny for 500. but prices have gone up. got it when no one knew aobut them its a 160hp engine pulls strong no vtec. but for 500 and i think 750 now still good price. i have seen some on ebay for around 600 with autos 700 with manuals

they take to boost VERY well butI would say ya need to go 5spd if thats in the future...

 

why would you choose a rebuilt motor over a jdm one? jdm motors will most likely have lower mileage and be less beat up. most of the motors over there are "junked" because of emission reasons not because they were crashed or are broken. if a motor had to be 'rebuilt' then it must of had alot of play with it to be in a position where it needed a rebuild, unless you are talking about a "built" motor (i.e. aftermarket forged pistons, rods, sleeve job, valvetrain, spring/retainers etc...) personally i dont trust rebuilt motors and trannies unless i was the one that had it rebuilt and knew the shop that rebuilt it would honor its warranties.

most engine importers do compression and leakdown tests on their motors and will guarantee that their motors arent DOA, with startup warranties.
