ALL turbo parts do though- like manifolds, kits, etc etc...
and after all is said and done, either can hit 500 whp, and the gsr is lighter, and thus you run faster

Building an H-Series to take real boost is very money intensive. Even experienced shops spend lots of time on the balancer trying to work out the kinks in the H-Series assembly. The inability to use forged internals on the stock FRM sleeves means you must spend an extra $900-$1200 that the GSR owner could have possibly bypassed.
H-Series ringlands suck. Trust a guy who has lost then twice in his H23 without boost. I might have finished the project if it hadn't drained me so much financialy and emotionally. I learned great things about fuel tuning in the process, but never got the benifit of actually spinning an impeller. Live and learn.
As an H-Series owner totally burned out on his project, I vote GSR. I've easily spent $4200+ in prep work and I cant hold the car together long enough to do anything. As soon as this Prelude is out the door, a Del Sol VTEC is in my future.

evidently every single one of you has yet to see mahle pistons new gold series line of pistons....they have a special coating on the skirts which allow you to runa forged piston in an h22 WITHOUT resleeving. they are available in standard, high, and low compression. these willbe what im gonna go with (low compression) along with some forged rods for my turbo setup. anyone else heard anything good or bad about these pistons or the manufacturer in general?

hmm.. i'm an h22 fan.. but in a hatch i'd have to go with a gsr... h22z don't get traction as it is in a hatch... and also B series partz are a lot easier to find than H series and they're cheaper...

The original goal was to build a 10 second Civic hatchback (EG6) that was still comfortably streetable. Not only did we run a 10.72ET @ 127MPH, we did it with a 1993 JDM H22A with a bone stock longblock and ECU, on 15 pounds of boost with only an Apex-i V-AFC for tuning. The sheer number of dumbfounded, pissed off domestic muscle car owners who fell victim to the Civic was an absolutely beautiful and gratifying site!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!
