It's definately on reversed... you can even see the oil filter location is located now under the exhaust mani... that would be a interresting oil change, if you could even get the filter to FIT behind there!!!

...individual coils 'cause the distributor had to be removed... you can see a cam position sensor where the "belt side" usually is...

Still... interresting, though, and I question its application... wonder how they managed to reverse the cam and gear directions to run correctly without coming up with a whole new cam design... also, the oil filter thing (or, it may be plugged from looking at it a bit closer). I just don't see how it would physically WORK without redoing almost EVERYTHING. However, if someone DOES have a take on how to make it work, it would be really neat and interresting to hear it...

Looks like they reversed the head so they could pin the motor the other way, making it able to mount longitudinally mount to a race or S2000 tranny and a regular differential.

The problem is when you turn an H22a to run RWD it spins the wrong way for for traditional differentials. And likely the race tranny they want to run. You can see they are building a side exit header just like an S2000 and every other longintudinally mounted motor.

That's old news. The BTCC (british touring car championship) Accords have been using that setup to facilitate the use of sequential gearboxes that spin in the traditional direction.

A- head is reversed, obviously
B- water neck is blocked off at exhaust side, and new "BIG" hole is on the "back" side.
C- Like satan said, rear wheel drive, see the huge part of the block that has been shaved? Looks like a starter hole to me.
D- Dry sump setup, I am guessing possibly f3 or the other smaller f1 underling series?
E- I want one. Does it have balance shafts?

Like I said, the motor picture above, more than likely, gets stuffed in a BTCC touring car; however, there's a pic in this thread (look for my reply) that shows a h22 f3 engine, and the f3 cars that it powers.
