I was thinking about going with a obd1 h22 since they are relatively cheaper than a gsr or type r motor, and are torqy and 200hp to the crank. My question is first of all, will the obd1 work in my car? I have a 2000 integra ls, and how much would it be since im guessing i would have to purchase mounting kit since it wont drop right in like another b series motor.

 

...or for the same price as a swap, you could boost your LS. For $2-3,000 you could easily make 250-300whp reliably which is much better than a stock H22. If you want to investigate this option further, check out the Forced Induction forum

 

Yeah i know you can make more power going boost, but i think i have more of a chance of getting my car stolen with a front mount intercooler.

 

you may be impressed with a gain in performance at first, but the H22 is still in no way fast.... And to top it off, it was not designed to be in Integras. The axle angles are skewed to the point where apparently they fail on a more regular basis, and the engine is heavier in general....

I'm not speaking from personal experience, just what I've read. Personally I think you would be better off with a modded LS motor. You could get 200HP "at the crank" easily from an NA LS engine. Just my 2 cents

 

Paint can solve that...

 

That actually crossed my mind, painting it black to match the black plastic on the bumper to give it that sleeper look.....i guess i need to start doing my homework on piecing a turbo together since its cheaper than buying a turbo kit right? I would want a smaller turbo that can spool up quick

 

if you paint the front mount black and don't cut the **** out of your bumper , it'll be low key. alot of guys cut waaay too much of the bumper acting like 400% of the core needs direct exposure LOL ..i'd boost before h22. i never really liked that engine. i had a 5th gen prelude, it was coo, but the engine and tranny weren't that great IMO. plus the axle problems in a teg as stated.

 

drop a type r with a lsd your be good to go lol

 

Get a power coated black intercooler. Thats what I have on my Maxima. Can't even tell its there.

 

12.8's I/H/E/Tune/Bottle/M2B4LSD/Slicks:



Car I had. I can agree with the axle problems. These were 500HP Driveshaft Shop axles and they broke.

I have this car now. Obviously the engine sucks in that car. Its 400+ lbs more than a DC4, and 1000 more than a EG hatch. But I understand. I was thoroghly impressed with the H22 when I had this Teg. Evo or Sti? LOL. But now in its original car, I am underwhelmed.

BUT, I will advocate the H22A in a Teg or Civic. It would be even faster, and have NO axle problems with a H2B kit, and B16 transmission. This coming from someone who actually HAD the combo in question, not word of mouth.

Personally, if I ever consider another Civic, its going to be a blue Si with a H2B.

 

That car look ridiculously close to a teg my buddy Kyle had a few years back.

H22 IMO Are good Daily engines but you beat on them and dont perform how you want them to. To heavy and bad gears for playing around. Plus along w/ the axle problem the car dosnt handle for **** afterwords. Its a under steer Kind

 

The H22 is a very well-designed motor and has the capacity to make great NA or turbo power. The major issue it has when swapped into our cars id definitely (as mentioned) the axles. If you're looking to build a nice street/drag car it's a cheap and viable option. If you're looking to do touge/auto-x/road racing there are better options, but the H22 still isn't a bad one. You'll have to figure out how to setup your car to suit the motor/weight/geometry changes but it's do-able if you want to invest the time.

 

just my 2 sent, i have a boosted 95 integra ls with almost 200,000miles on it my car looks completely stock ive used a dsm intercooler handles the power and it blends in to the car nice won lots of races cause they never can tell im boosted the intercooler piping isnt to hard i keep my car sleeper status lol

 

Kyle built that Teg.

I had it a while. Hope its in a junkyard now.

 

i have an h22 in the teg and its not that bad. just distribute some of the front weight to the rear and that should compensate for the extra weight. the torque is amazing too.

 

I agree with this.

 

Plus if you go H22 you have to do all that cutting for the shifter, etc. whereas with a turbo or H2B you would not. Buddy of mine had a H22 del Sol and it never seemed all that great, but then it had wiring problems out the azzz.

 

Febus, I dont like throwing his name out much. I havnt talked to him since the car shows up in Middletown in 08' Been hearing lots of diff thing.

Has he sold his Olive green teg. I know he goes back and forth with it.

 

I can agree with the shifter. The shifter in that Teg made me misshift a few times, including on the test drive. LOL.

I don't know. I keep out of the way. But for the price, its not going anywhere.

 

shifting isnt much than in a hydro tranny. well at least mine isnt.

 

whut? B18B/C cars and H22 cars both have hydraulic clutch disengagement.

Do you mean solid shift linkage vs. cable linkage? Are you talking about shifting effort? Feel? I was referring to the fact that you have to cut out a bunch of metal from the middle of the Integra when using an H22 cable-shifted transmission.

 

DSM intercooler?

 

Just put a gsr in it please

 

yea sorry i was referring to the feel. cutting the bunch of metal takes some time though. with a dremmel its not too bad.

but yea just drop a gsr in it and call it a day.
