On the stock F22 motor I ran 15.1 on a 50 shot! I didnt try with the h22.. either way there still slow! Im going to have to say im very unimpressed with the h22 swap. I had every bolt on possible and i still dont think it was worth a damn! That my 2 cents take it as you will!

Below is my response to the above from a discussion we were having on driving techniques thread. I thought the discussion better belonged here on the swap thread.
Thanks for sharing your experience and times with the H22A but it really depends on your expectations.
Here were my expectations of the H22A Swap.
My overall goal was to have a 4 door Accord, not a light weight smaller civic for a daily driver. If I wanted to hit sub 11 second times I would have purchased a small Honda CRX or Civic Hatch back.
1. 3000lb Accord with 150HP on F series motor, NA, bolt on mods = 17 seconds
Okay to drive, peppy but not all that powerful
2. 3000lb Accord with 200HP on JDM H22A motor, NA, bolt on mods = 15 seconds
50 extra horses make a big difference in daily driving to me. Power is always there ready and smooth since it's not from a NOS bottle squirt.
3. 3000lb Accord with 250HP on JDM H22A motor, built internals = 13 seconds. There was just this Accord with built internals, NA and no bottle running at the track hitting in the mid 13's.
4. 3000lb Accord with 280HP on JDM H22A motor, (non built), Turbo at 8 to 10PSI = 13 to 12 seconds. (This is my guess at times as mine isn't turbo'd - yet.)
5. 3000lb Accord with 320HP on JDM H22A motor, built internals, Turbo at 15 to 25PSI = under 12 seconds. (Again, another guess but the HP to time slip to weight of car formula looks about right.)
I've seen fully built, lightened turbo'd Civic HB's hitting 11's. So, if you had an Accord with an H22A motor built the same as the Civic it should come close to 12's unless of course the civic has an H22A in it. In which case the civic is already hitting 13's with a stock NA H22A motor because of the bottom line that some civic HB's only weigh under 2,000lbs!
Is the H22A worth the money for the swap? It is if you want to keep an Accord and get rid of the older F series 150HP motor then I say it is definately worth it! HP per $ it's a lot better than turboing an F series motor - IMO.
