H22! H22!

All together now!

H22! H22!

 

a few questions on the h22 swap.. will i need mounts.. i know some accords came with the h22 but i dont know if the 93's did.. im an ef-9 guy and dont know much about accord compatability.. what about the f22b sohc v tec?

is there a turbo kit i could run on the sohc.. if so who makes it?

thanks again

brian

 

H22 is the best option.

F22b is good if you wanna go turbo. This option will give you more power and might be cheaper.

 

H22 is not good for boost because of teh compression, so you'd have to build the block before boosting it. It will use a mix of accord and prelude motor mounts, but i'd rather go with new bushings hopefully made of polyurethane because of its resilience.

If youre looking for a turbo setup, go to http://www.turbokits.com, and look at the RevHard and FMax setups.

I'd also look into a DSM (Mitsu/Chrysler) turbo setup. 1st and 2nd gen Eclipses and similar Talons have a turbo setup that with minor modification will bolt right onto an accord, I believe for F22B's, possibly A's, so i'd look into that and save over a grand.

 

i have a 94 accord with an h22 motor swap in it. being a 4 door heffer it runs 16.4 on average. i think in your body style it'd run mid 15's witch is plenty fast for as reliable it is. motor mounts on mine are stock accord front and rear, then a slighly modified prelude mount for the driver's side. if you get the swap i'd go for 93 prelude v-tec, tranny w/lsd, and ecu. you dont really need lsd but it's good to hav. if your still not happy you could put a LITTLE boost on it (4psi) and not have to worry about much. i'd say if you go this rout then plan on spending $3,000(motor) + $3,500(turbo) = $6,500

 

i am looking at the f22b vtec.. is it a direct bolt in to the 93? mount and tranny wise..

thanks

f22b DOHC non vtec jdm engine, or the f22b1???........your only getting 15~20 or so extra HP w/ the B1......youd be best off w/ an H22a1..........if you can afford it....
