why dont more people swap h22s???

a complete swap can be had for under $2,000
and it makes great Stock horsepower and torque

does that extra 80 some pounds reallly make a difference??

is it just not JDM enough for you guys ? haha just messing

its a little more time consuming project thats all. Its not a simple drop in like the b16. Second a lot of people think that its only good for straight track use and that it has a tendency to make your car not go straight. all BS, its a good swap.

it's a great swap with more work. Not direct bolt in. If you've driven a H22 hatch, you'll fall in love. I started a thread while ago..I'll get the link. Lots of pros and cons, but mostly pros. Most people that have done the swap love it.

Figure a B18 with turbo weighs about the same as an H22. Not that heavy

ok, thanks for that thread, very info packed, i just have a few questions... so what kind of mounts have the least vibration? what axles would i need if i dropped it more than an inch? what exactly is ATTS ? i didnt really understand it in the thread, and the 6 puck clutch, is that the stock clutch? what after market clutch is better ,............sorry im jsut sort of clueless about h22s

thanks

Wouldn't that be an unfair advantage (80 pounds more for 80 horses more)
