As alot of people would say here.....SEARCH OWNS!!

Yes H22 will fit

total for everything including labor=4-5k

JDM B20A has potential if you know where to look.
JDMB20A=140 hp ~120 tq

SOHC=1 cam
DOHC=2 cams
Which of the above would you rather have.

Also the b16 is a complete waste of money....by the time you get done with all the custom work, you can have quick JDM B20A powered 3rd gen.

for some reason people tell me not to get the b21a1 they say its a peice of crap or to rare. I liked my b21a1 though i thought it was quite strange they make the 2.1l engine over the 2.0. like what does this accomplish anyways
