I swapped out an H22A1 motor for a Japanese H22A.
Everyone tells me the H22A has more HP but I certainly can't feel a difference.
The H22A1 has a factory HP rating of about 150. Now my mechanic tells me I have anywhere from 170 to 190HP. Some people claim 200HP - ya right.
What is the practical number for HP in my new motor?
Any replys would be helpful.

150 hp to the wheels sounds almost right. 200 hp to the flywheel is just about right.

 

Do you know how to do a search, eh? How about look down a few threads on first page, eh? This has been covered a million times, eh.

 

Sorry I missed class JDMAccordnr. Me bad, huh? Suppose I should have "axed you-all", huh?
"Eh" is to Canadian as "Huh" is to American.
Your condesending attitude really sucks.
I suppose you will just reply with some smart *** reply, huh?
Thanks, I will try the search now.

Actually there is a thread on the middle/bottom of the first page that deals with this.

And I lived in Maine for a while where 'eh' is used frequently It always reminds me of 'Strange Brew.'

 

Maine. Hell that's farther north than me. Whenever I ski in Vermont I am always surprised by the Vermonters' who say "eh".
Yes "strangebrew" is a classic here in Canada. Sorry JDMAccord2nr I thought you were being rude. No offense.
Thanks. I looked at the link and I am still a bit confused. The prelude H22A has a listed HP of 200. While the same H22A for an Accord only has about 190HP. Does Honda use the same engine in both cars? Or is H22A prelude different than an H22A Accord. And why would Honda use the exact same part# for both engines?
If my new engine produces 190HP than I should have about 150HP at the wheels?
Why does any engine need to produce 30 to 40Hp simply for friction losses?
Assuming that an automatic transmission has some "constant slip" in the tranny would I have more HP at the wheels since my car is a standard?

You did an engine swap to gain 10hp... I dont understand why anyone would ever do that. Am I missing something?? I alwasy thought that most of the extra hp comes from the JDM header used (4-2-1), where as the USDM header does not flow as well.

 

NOOB CAKE FOR DESERT

 

I changed my motor because I had a cracked manifold or block. I kept losing oil at a phenominal rate but I couldn't find any oil leaks or blue clouds of smoke out of my exhaust. I finally noticed that my coolant reservoir was leaking oil and I knew right away I had a life altering problem.
I didn't want to waste my time rebuilding an old motor so I simply swapped it. I wouldn't spend a ton of money simply to gain 10HP. How stupid did you assume I was?

 

NOOB indeed.
