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 hatch
*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 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 samba green del sols with b16a2\'s
