If I was gonna swap an H22 in my car that would be the one I would go with. Instead of the '99 usdm model that I have now. The only problem is that if you are gonna switch out everything. Then what is the point in buying the factory modded version? Why not just buy a regular old h22, and the build it with the remaining $2000 dollars you would have saved?

Edit: The throttle body is where the air goes into your intake manifold.

Euro-R, Prelude-S are all H22 "prelude motors"

I "may" be right?

Euro R has single runner intake mani. Aggressive cams & 11:1 (or higher, cant remember) compression.

The h22a1,4 (us. version) has crappy intake with dual runners. Weak-*** cams, and 10.0:1 Compression.

Its like an integra R motor, only for a prelude.

BTW h22a1 or h22a4 are both usdm prelude motors.
h22a is the Jap. version.
The euro R block still has h22a stamped on it. Same with prelude S motor. They just have better pistons & cams from the factory.

If skunk2 made a prelude intake then I would say yes, but they currently do not.
If you buy the Euro R motor. Then you are already getting the best intake you can for H22's, and it would be crazy to change it (unless building for turbo etc.)

you've been researching for weeks but still don't know what sh means? lol...the sh refers to the different models that they offered in the latest preludes. the sh was the four wheel turning model. the non sh was the regular model. not too sure if the turbo kit piping would fit the swapped civic...if i were you i would just get the regular h22 and boost it (different turbo kit). also the higher compression is not gonna like the boost. save your money. hth

just curious why you posting this in the all motor forum if you plan on boosting?

I'd have to agree with what the guys have said, not much point spending the extra dosh for the Euro R engine if your going to change the internals...

However the Euro R spec engines although they have better internals, the head has been ported and polished from factory, from experience if you look at the code printed on the EURO R heads, should be PDE whereas the other H22A's have P13 on them.. Something perhaps you should look out for when you look at a Euro R spec engine, The part number for my Euro R manifold 17100-PDE-E00, honda uses PDE for the Euro R spec parts, not sure about the pistons and cams, but you may find that the engine will have a combination of P13 ppart numbers for other parts...

 

remind me to beat the guy that thinks the last gen of preludes have 4wheel steering at all. SH means nothing of the sorts. its a type of factory LSD without actually being an LSD.

secondly, yay boost.

third, try http://www.hmotorsonline.com for an H22. they are really good.

personally, i build a better then Euro R h22 and puta 100shot on it. its fun, and totally drivable, "power on demand"

im thinking of having an engine swap for a 1999 honda civic ex.
its a 2.2l dohc vtec 220hp/163tq/11.0

ive been researching for weeks and im still pretty confused,
is it a prelude engine?
i mean, sure im going to replace almost all the stock parts that come with it
but how do i know which new aftermarket oem parts would fit?

say im looking in an auto performance parts website, do i need to look at the
honda prelude section or the honda civic ex section, if you know what i mean


i also have a few questions if you dont mind
1. the euro r version has 10tq more then the type-s version, they cost the same
and both come with the same stuff, ecu, tranny, starter, clutch, intake manifold etc
whats the difference between the Euro R version and the Type S version? is it only 10tq?
does the Euro R version have anything to do with europe? european version maybe?
and would you recommand ordering from that site?
2. whats a throttle body?
</TD></TR></TABLE>

if you're going to replace the internals then buy the cheapest H22 engine possible...

you would ask for prelude stuff not civic....

throttle body is the piece where the intake connects to....do a search and you'll know

Oh yeah you forgot to add that the tranny is the best tranny and has the best gear ratio for the h22a, as well is a stock helical LSD.

 

excuse me every1...I have a h22a euro r swap in my 00 ek hatch.running on s300 not tune yet...I have walbro 255 fuel pump..can I use rc injectors 550cc with a stock fuel rail?
