As some of you may know Saturday night my car decided to put a 4" hole in the front of the block. I have 2 choices. I have a line on a f22 shortblock from a fellow member on here for a very good price. I could buy it, put some 11:1 pistons in it and possibly a cam and maybe even some headwork.

Or

I could borrow some money and swap in a h22. H22 would remain stock, and prob be that way for a long time.

 

h deuce deuce.....go for it

 

id go for it

i did myself

H22 would be a pretty reliabl swap. 11:1 in a F22 and other mods it starts to become less streetable and less reliable.

 

build the f22!

 

i have yet to see an h22 break a 14, but thats me and i havent seen alotta h22 swaps in accords.

 

I don't really drag race, for now I daily drive my car and use it for HPDEs. Eventually it will be track only.

 

im in the same boat. i swapped, and have only intake/exhaust while i save up the cash. daily grind plus weekly 1/4 mi trips and monthly autocross, no hpde's yet just can justify spending that much, YET.

ive seen lots of hybrid accords in the 14s and 13s... thought you knew

How long do you plan to have the car? I'd go short-block F22 + just a cam (wouldn't this have to be custom ground??). Keep it cheap-cheap-cheap...

But that's just my cheap-***.

 

 

Definately do the h22a swap and have yourself a HYBRID mang! LOL!

 

hrm, how about this. Replace my short block, then borrow some money and put a turbo on my car?


Remember, i don't really drag race that much. Mainly autox and HDPEs and daily driving.

 

im sorry, i know how many people love the f22 and how many people want it to be a successfully boosted motor, but i just CANT believe that it would last 2 days running hpde...

 

Yeah, thats what i'm worried about

 

i say h22... look how many events dave(4doorh22) has competed in. i know helluva lot more than me and his **** is still strong. i know what my plan is, save, save, save, build, buy, save, save, race, save, blow up, save, re-build... lol itll happen sooner or later!

 

H22a

 

H22 all day long

 

cams for f22? anyone know where to get them from?

 

I had a similar experience, but the hole in the block was caused by some now "out of business" dumbass jacking up my exhaust manifold instead of the block to change a front motor mount. The ******** broke the heat shield boss off the engine. I stayed with the F22. I found another engine for $100 , and then ordered the crower rods and 11:1 wiseco pistons from Race Engineering. Web camshafts is supplying the cam. The head is going to Portflow, as soon as I get off my *** and ship it. I should have decent power, and to the naked eye it's just a stock Accord.
