reference section. Engines. Black top, 200 hp Red Top 220.
Both JDM, one is slightly better massaged at the factory. More than likely, unless you are spending a lot of $$$$, you will get the 200 hp, 161 lb. ft. torque model.

One of the major differences between the two are the pistons i believe, the red valve cover engine has nigher performance pistons.. runs at a slightly higher compression due to is ability to over the black valve cover engine. Also the 220hp vesion of the h22 is called a Type-S.

Type S engine also has a hand-ported intake manifold, better-flowing head, upgraded valvetrain, slightly more aggressive cams, a better-flowing exhaust manifold, and slightly better connecting rods.
