read for yourself.

Pros and cons of putting an h-series in your civic/del sol:

CONS

*h22a is 60lbs heaver than a b18c with a/c power stearing ext..

*parts are more money, and harder to come by for cheep like its b16/18 conter parts

*if you want to put forged pistons in you have to resleave the motor, i will explane why if you want me to but for now we will just leave it at that.

*beacuse you must resleave for the pistons it make running anyhting over 9psi fairly expensive and a lot of work.

*it is a little bit of a tricky swap to get in the bay of a civic.

*to turbo you have to get slim radiator fans

*when you shift a h22a with a stock transmition at redline you fall about 200 rpms out of vtec, so a vtec controler is a great idea, or go a little deeper in to the redline (indicated redline is 7,400. fuel cut off is at 8,200)

*a bit of under-steer




PROS

* you have an h22a in your civic/del sol

*you dont have as big of a no low end power and torque problem as the smaller honda blocks

*old drag racing addage," there is no replacment for displacement"

*with a stock motor with a catback exsaust and an fmax turbo kit pushing 8psi you get 250 wheel H.P.

*you can bore/stroke an h22a to a 2.6 liter

*i have seen 20 psi h22a's with 600 wheel horse power

*Jun makes h22a parts now

*you will be faster than most other people with a b16a swap

** you will be able to beat the piss out of civics/sols with b16a2's


ALL that said- would i swap an h22 into a 5th gen? only if she was a trailer queen.
B-series own the street for all around drivabilty and power potential.
h-series own at the 1320 track where all out power is necessary and weight isn't much of a factor cuz A, you aren't turning, and B) your chassis weighs 1000 lbs.
