Default Should I do a H22 swap?

I have a cd5 accord should I pay to put an h22 in there or should I just invest that money into the F22? What would you do?

That's an open ended question. The answer depends on whether you wanted to build all motor or go FI. From an all motor standpoint I can see more benefits from an h swap, from an FI standpoint the f series is a decent base. I'd evaluate what your goals are, then do a lot of research to help make your decision

Depends on what you want, really. The H swaps in pretty easily. You can even use your transmission. But the F is a good engine as well...better suited for boost. I just went through swapping a h22 into my EG and I LOVE it it was a pain in the @ss but I would do it again.

Thank you very much. But if I do plan on boosting my F22 what are some mods that I should use the prepare the engine for boost. Please list them? I'm sure I can't just boost the stock engine.

And let's say I want to keep it NA with an H22 what's the most power in might be able to get and what mods would take me there? Thanks again.

I'm sure you would have a pretty good idea if you read up more like I said before. There is a lot of info that has already been posted on this site by people who asked the same questions many times. Whenever I contemplate doing any sort of mod I do hours of research, reading other people's experiences, getting exact how to's, as well as full price lists that way there is no question when it comes time to do it. I'm not trying to sound harsh at all, but people on here get very tired of answering the same questions over and over. It all comes down to goals and budget, with those unknown nobody can give you a definite answer because a 250hp goal and 500hp goal have way different requirements.

The F22 is a very underrated engine, with a few simple mods you can have a really good NA engine or boosted engine for cheap. Probably much cheaper than a H22 swap. In the end it depends on your goals and current condition of the engine.
