you will probably get alot of responses saying h22, which is a good way to go since the swap is not too difficult and it gives pretty decent power for a heavy car such as an accord. you could get a stock f22 replacement, but for the money, im jumping on the bandwagon and saying it. h22

turblow your car for the same amount of money and give your heavy assed accord some tourque...this option might be strenuous on the auto tranny though

some people say that, some people love theirs. it depends. ive known some people to get an imported h-deuce only to find that it has practically no more piston rings, and then i know one guy that loves his and runs a mid 14 in his accord. it depends. what are you looking for man?
