Obviously he's here to waste time

I think he just likes to ask questions...

need2bfaster

i asked if h22 was a reliable swap compared to a stock motor

Turbo&Auto

As well as a hundred other questions that you asked then didnt want the answer to so you change your question.....Theres enough info now for you in this thread, close it up! IBTL

calmfornow

yea.....i would say close it up....this thread is raped and abused now......for an easy answer but not the best overall is that......the F22 is more reliable than the H22, but im throwing an H22 in my accord because i have an H22 in my garage and my stock F22 hit 373000 last night.........but yea, lower power but F22 is a little more reliable.......now for the prelude bein slower.....it doesnt matter if its auto or not, he could suck so much that his reaction time is that horrible....or his trans is screwed....but yea F22=more reliable now i think this thread is raped enough and could use a break

BrutalB83

How is the F22 more reliable? If you're talking stock versus stock, then either one of them are pretty reliable. They are Honda motors afterall. I don't understand why people are always asking "if I swap this motor in my car will it still be reliable?" I don't know, are you gonna half-ass the wiring and not give the engine a tune-up and run 87 octane when you're supposed to run premium and put a 150 shot of nitrous on it and beat the piss out of it? Then no, it probably won't be reliable...

If you do a quality install and take care of your new engine just like you would the stock engine then it should be just as reliable. It's that simple...

well look at it this way. you could spend thousands of dollars to try and build an h22. or u could put same amount of money as u would in the h22, like motor, harness, ecu, and bolt ons, in the f22 and have the same results.

scooby88

but to answer ur ? the h22 is a reliable swap if u do it right. but i cant say its the wisest.

BrutalB83

An F22 on bolt-ons really isn't gonna get to far...

need2bfaster

in the long run a built h22 is going to be faster then a built f22

BrutalB83

nootrac22

true, but in the short run the f22 is. If the plan is to fully build the engine, then the diffrence is minimal or nonexistant. It all comes down to, as it always does, what are your plans for the car and how deep are your pockets. A cheap, easy, reliable swap would be IMO the f22 if for no other reason the the FRM sleeves the h22 has will over time wear the rings out.

Turbo&Auto

No doubt if you build both the H will be faster, that wasnt the point. The point is a H22 swap or turbo the F22, which is better? Just swapping the H22 in will not beat a ghetto turbo'd F22, plain and simple. If you dont care about speed and just have a boner for the H22(which you OBVIOUSLY do), then do it. It will be quick but you will be destroyed by the first FI F22 accord you come across.

need2bfaster

i plan on building it up ...look this is my first import im new at this i dont know about turbos sleeves ecu tunning ect.. there isnt places close me that do performance work ...and id love to have a turbo but for me to get the f22 turbo'd id have to spend like 2500 to have the closest place do it for me and that dont include pistons so either i get raped there or do the h22 swap unless some one on here can point me in the right direction to find good pistons and a good turbo kit i mean ill do some research so im not spoon fed but i would need a some pointers may

BrutalB83

You don't necessarily need after-market pistons if you boost on an F22. You can boost on the stock engine and make pretty good power numbers. As long as you get it tuned ok it will be fairly reliable...

Turbo&Auto

You dont need to build the motor to turbo the f22, thats what we're trying to tell you......You can just slap it on there and enjoy. It will take a GOOD amount of abuse as well.

Youre in Pa right? Buy my manifold, turbo and wg and I will charge you parts plus a couple bucks to make the rest for you. The setup I have for it would easily make 250whp and def be more then you anticipated! The only extra maintenance to a turbo setup is oil changes and check your plugs. I run Vpowers or other full coppers and change them every 5K. Theyre easy and cheap to do.

If you do the H22 you will way further from your goal assuming the budget isnt huge here. To boost that motor right you need to swap pistons IIRC. A few bolt ons will net a couple whp but nothing serious. Buying those few parts will cost a LOT too.... Im not saying this is a bad option, but I dont think its the best one. I dont feel youre going to get what you think youre getting. And you will spend a lot more to get there even.

yea im in pa im near altoona how much for all them parts and what evr else i need cause i have a spare f22a4 but it dont have pistons and i cant remeber if the conecting rods are still in it i would/will consider depending on how much ill have into making it turbo

Turbo&Auto

Ill sell the mani turbo and ewg for - $ 1K for everything. All of the parts are brand new!! I also have a socketted ecu loaded with a map for your car as well as a 3bar map sensor and everything to tune the ecu. If youre serious about something like this I have the shit!

need2bfaster

ill let u know but im not doing any thing till this summer
