ok so i recently hit a huge puddle in my 96 cord lx and the water somehow sucked into my engine, blowing a quarter sized hole in my block. needless to say im in the market for a new motor. i was wondering if it is worth it to go ahead and buy an h22 for it. how does it feel when you are driving it. give me some input on how you guys like them. i am torn right now between getting the h22 or just going stock, selling the car and getting an eg civic or crx. any help you can give would be great. and sorry if it is a dumb question....thanks.

Yes. H22 is definitely worth it. Switching from 96 accord to H22 you will feel huge differences. Engine is much more stronger, pulls much harder. Vtec addicted. And your car will be a sleeper . I totalled my '96 accord lx, bought '99 Prelude, very happy since

Seems like your basic english skills need to be 'much more stronger'

The H22 is worth it. I doubt you'll be much of a sleeper unless your car is completely unmodified otherwise. Most people now see a modified Accord and they assume you're running an H. But from my personal experience it has been worth the 2K

Where I live I don't see a lot of accord with H22, that was why I said it would be a sleeper. They mostly go with cosmetic, not speed. Out of 10, only 1 has H22.

 

out of sheer matter of opinion, i say no it's not worth it...but that's just because i could have had more power for the money with a turbo setup on my f22...oh well, though...

great point Nick H. but if u want, i have a longblock u can buy from me, jdm 95 h22a longblock, haha but for all motor power, the h22 is the best motor to go with, pretty much bolts up right into the accord engine bay

 

DO you have to throw in a new tranny in order to swap with a h22?

u can use the accord tranny but itll be quite longer than the h22 tranny.

 

Wheres a good place to get motors?

 

Try http://www.hmotorsonline.com and ask for Steve. Good Luck!

No. Auto H22 is crap . Get 5-speed They are like night and day.

 

I cant tell you if its worth it but i'm getting one!
My buddy installed one in his 5th gen, ran 14 flat in 1/4 mile with H22a swap and few minor bolt ons.

 

the h22 is a good upgrade for the accords, btw, im selling a h22a complete longblock, perfect for accord guys, haha i was gonna swap mine in but decided to sell it and go suspension

 

yea i figure H22 automatic is not a good idea.. but its so hard to find an accord thats 5-speed.. anyone selling at 93-95 accord or 92-95 civic? i'm selling my accord for 1500

 

thanks for the input guys, i guess i will keep saving my pennies. as for buying the motor, i think i am definatly going with hmotors.com. my buddy got a b16 from them to put in his civic and the motor was very clean. he had no problems with the motor or tranny and the guys there were really helpful. plus delivery right to his house which is key. wish me luck and maybe ill post some pics when it is done.

 

about the auto thing ive seen h22 swap in a 5th gen coupe accord auto with f22b2 tranny and basic bolt ons simply rape a prelude with manual and just about the same set up. A few things to keep in mind a perfectly functioning auto will just rape a stick any day of the week same two cars same set ups it's been provin time and time again. The bad thing is honda autos are week and must be built.
I don't know why so many people say trash your auto cause it sucks, thats just stupid you take the time and invest in a built auto vs the manual swap you can *** rape any stick any day of the week and dont break a sweat in traffic. id have to point out another thing if built correctly your auto prob could handle more hp and torque then a stick ever could. I go to the local track alot and the big hp street cars i see all have autos, big chevy 454 autos ect, look at 95% of the muscle cars of the past all have autos they had great auto tranny that could handle lots of hp. So why cant an import lover enjoy the thrill of watching the loser next to him trying to find that next gear in the heat of the moment, AS YOU PASS HIM with nothing but your foot on the gas.

 

hmmm. That would only stand true if the guy behind the wheel can't drive a stick.

 

anyone that says a boosted f22 in your case is a fool, cause somehow i suspect boosting an engine witha hole in the block is not worth it.

also the auto h22a is not bad at all if you have the jdm auto tranny, least it wasnt in my buddies auto setup that ran a best of 15 flat all motor and 13.8 on nitrous...but he was also running 18s at the track too.

and if autos did so much "assraping" why do the honda racers not use them at the track? oh yeah its cuase they break so often....its not like we are talking about a th400 or th350 transmission that has been on the market in some for for 40+ years and has 40+ years of parts and design into building them up.

 

I'm putting in an h22a into my 5th gen in 2 weeks i'll tell u afterwards if it was worth it k. I bought it from hmotorsonline.com

what are his "minor" bolt ons, gettin an h22 accord to run a 14 flat is not easy at all

 

He has cams, pulleys, I/H/E, VAFC2, larger Throttle body (custom crap he did) and upgraded fuel system, bigger pump etc... he has a stripped interior, carbon fiber hood and trunk and ran on Nittos 555 drag radials with like 20psi in them.

ah, so now minor bolt ons means stripped car, on slicks, with an all motor build up

gotcha

im thinking it was a 4th gen lude w/ f22...

 

nope it was an h22a4 prelude vs an h22a1 accord. The driver of the prelude is a good driver he just got smoked thats it plain and simple, both h22s were moded about the same.
