torque is ok, not enough high end power, not unless you change pistons and cams, engine is heavy so you need to compensate it with good suspension for it to handle good.

*sigh*

HP, it's 200hp stock, 195 USDM, 220 Type-S.
Handling, Just fine for ANYTHING you do on the street with stock suspension.
Weight, My car weighed 2550 with no a/c, no p/s.

I put down just shy of 200whp and 155lb-ft with boltons.

Just shut up. Torque = daily drivability. Engine weighs between 30-60lbs more than a b-series depending on the variants and options you have.

Here is a link to my garage. https://honda-tech.com/garage?cmd=viewcar&id=1565

Tose must be some crazy boltons you have. From my experience it is pretty hard to get that kind of H22 power (&gt;195/150) without cams. Got Dynos?

h22 is cool.... but you have to hack up the bay for it to go in. Thats really the only downside.

with all respect. sorry if my statement came out wrong.my point of view is in terms of tracking it. ive owned a h22 in my eg6. hella fast on straight. but if you wish to drive it on corners, you have to compensate it by installing good suspesion. weight wise. 30-60 pounds heavier is a lot when tracking . its a different story if its daily driven. h22 are quick no doubt. installing it maybe a bitch. i cut my shifter box for the linkage to fit, tight in the engine bay, before instaling it, i suggest you change what you have to change in your tranny coz it would be a head ache when you pull tranny out once engine is braced in the car.
