THanks Honda tech

I have a gsr in mine now..What do you think about a H22 (220hp)?? Is it worth it?? Full long block for $800?? Give me suggestions especially if you or know someone who has done the swap. Thanks again.

 

I've yet to do it but get it, get the H2b setup and go fast

I oversimplifed it but search about hs into 4th/2nd gens it's not a cake walks but its a nasty setup.

 

its more work then a b swap.

hasport and also explicitspeed make the mounts and various parts to make it work.

searching would be the best bet.

both explicitspeed and 2point2 have full therads with hundreds of replies.

i would leave the gsr in there and if ur looking for more power, do a turbo or some headwork on it.

 

my friend has a H22 in his hatch. When tehy are built they are no joke. Just do the easy stuff b4 u drop it in, like new clutch and fly wheel, timing belt, etc b4 it goes in and youll save ur self a headache

 

^^ I agree, there is a lot of topics regarding this, especially the explicit speed one.. I am very interested in this my self.. just imagining an H22 in my gutted EF.... i think it should pull pretty good!

 

It'd be excellent for drag racing. Too front-heavy for anything else. As for if it's worth it, only you can answer that question.

 

^^ How much heavier is a H22A1, from say a B16, or any of the B series motors? Last I heard they aren't that much heavier, probably around 30-50 lbs.

correct...

my h22 crx hf weighs in at 2020 lbs.

 

Wow... I hadn't realized that was all the weight difference. Hell yeah, throw the battery in the back and go for it!!

 

Looks at calendar, yep its 2007

Screw that h series bs, go big and go k20a 250 whp with I/h/e and kpro

I have no opinion on the explicit speed mounts, but I will say to avoid the HASport ones. I think the H22 EF kit they have is their worst one, by far. It's a shame, really.

Try driving one before you say things like this. Mine handles great, and since I put a good suspension in (Koni + GC) at the same time, it sure doesn't feel nose-heavy.

mine, with full interior, toolkit, and 3/4 tank of gas (a 91 hatch) weighs 2370.

 

I would say defeantly run the ExplicitSpeed mounts. Im running them in my 93 teg with the H22. great mounts, no weird vibrations, engineered great. also am runnin the ExplicitSpeed Traction Bar I would say get one of those too!! and plus i trust steel mounts over aluminum anyday.
