what does a non modified h22a run in the 1/4 mile???? and would it be able to burn a 96 Prelude w/ some mods??? There is a kid that lives around me that wants to race me. he has mostly exterior and interior work to his lude, not much on the engine. Intake, exhaust, header, maybe cam work, not totally sure about that but the other stuff hes got. Would i stand a chance with the h22a against him???

it will come to who is better driver.

ok so if he didnt have any mods..... i would be able to burn him with the h22??? and i still need someone to tell me the 1/4 mile time for it also, please.

your car and 96 prelude VTEC about same weight, so that why i said; it will come down who is better driver.
wanna know 1/4ml for prelude, visit -> http://www.car-stats.com/

damn im not ganna be able to wait till the summer. Im going over to Cedar Point Amuesment park with some friends. ill have the h22 in my car by then. its ganna be great. it says it takes 8 hours to get there. ill get there in like 4 - 5 hours.

yo, you got one too, wow havent found someone with a 91 accord in a while. Is the h22a the prelude engine si, soch or doch and/or vtech?

i dont have the engine yet. if i hve the money by the end of the summer ill have it put it. im gettin two jobs over the summer so i should have the money for it. ill tell you what its like at the end of the summer. but im dying for it now. i just keep wasting my money on other things. lol not really my gf keeps saying aww these will look so good on your car you should get them. and i do. damn gf's. but ill def be getting the h22a.

the H22A is out of the prelude VTEC, it is a DOHC VTEC

Some kid at school dropped a Prelude motor (4th gen) into his 95 Accord Coupe and now he is keeping up with a GSR, so its pretty slow...he claims it to be really fast but its all talk. He has fuel rails, intake and exhaust.

wait your saying that the h22 is a slow engine???

when placed into a honda accord yes, and I feel the prelude motor is not very fast in stock form either.

what motor would you prefer for speed in an accord???

something with a little torque, like a v6 =)

my friends built 96 accord is a 13 second car, and that is with the stock engine, no prelude swap and it doesnt have vtec

91 accords are slow as shit. there really isn anything out there that a v6. i mean the other engine was thinking about was the GSR motor. that has 210 hp on it.

lol, I forget how light your car is, doesnt matter, either motor will make your car haul ass.

You have the slim body accord that isnt all bulked up if I am thinking of the right one.

yeah i have one of the lightest accords. i slide all over the place hen its windy out, thats the only bad thing. im drivig down the road and my back end is slidig out from under me. it sucks though. so the h22 would work really well in my accord???

no, I said either motor is fine, a H22 or a B18

The b18c-r is like 5100 and the h22 is 2300 so i'd rather just have the h22.

Yeah, better choice.....where you getting your motor from?

Prolly from here......

http://www.jdm1.com/

I mean i will look around for cheaper but these come with 20 - 30K miles. so thast really good. other come with 30 - 50K on them. so most likely im ganna tick with Jdm1.com. have any other sites that i could check out to find motors???

Ill get back to you with that one, cuz my friend has a crap load of sites with car engines for sale. even skyline motors

Reason for such low mileage is that in Japan you gotta yank your motor like every 5 years and 30k miles....so we get the benefit of being able to buy those motors =)

haha thats great. skyline motors you say.... sweet. i wanna see that site with that one on it. they 4 or 6 cyl??

Trust me, you're not getting a skyline motor in an accord! I'm sure you weren't really thinking of it, but in case you were, just stop now. The GTR motor is a 2.6L I6 TT with RWD.

we own one honda....why would I waste money in a civic, it was for my 300zx because I heard it would fit......do I look dumb?

Your callin me a JACKASS? well blow me because your the idiot who jumped in out of no where and brings up dropping a skyline motor into a Honda which is not even worthy of that motor.

haha no i wasnt thinking of it. it would be nice if i had the money to redo everything and make it a RWD car. but i would never waste the money on it.

Yeah dude, your smart wanting a prelude motor in their, it will sure as hell haul some ass....i say get it if you can afford it and it wont fuck you financially

Take some prozac man, chill out.

No, the B18 won't have enough torque to get you going. You'll want the H22 in your Accord, even if it is a light one.

True, but I want that b18-r thing redlines at like 9500 RPMS =)

"Reason for such low mileage is that in Japan you gotta yank your motor like every 5 years and 30k miles....so we get the benefit of being able to buy those motors =)"



explain please?

yeah why do they gatta yank there motors after 5 years???

In Japan they got the 30,000 mile law. You cant run a car if the engine has over 30,000miles. It has to do with efficieny, emissions, and environmental shit. So we get engines with really low K. Also here is another site for jdm engines http://www.specjdm.com/motors.html:bandit:

who cares, we benefit over here.....we get shitty cars, at least we can have their used engines =)

haha yeah seriously. I wish they brought the Accord Type-R over here. but its cool i dont mind spending $2500 on used motors with 30,000 K on it when they last forever.

I here they dont last as long.....my friend was going to drop a CTR motor into a hatch, guy said the whole car would only last about 6 years.

Yeah, but you'll be pissed when it doesn't get you off the line. An H22 with some work can rev significantly higher than stock.

True that too....you dont need RPMS to go higher to go faster......consider Torque, H22 is perfect for your car.....unless you weigh less then a GSR.....the H22 is going to have the most power for its price. Also when modifying both those engines...an h22 will have more significant gains in power .

yeah it would be the best choice. i was pretty much 100% sure with that engine because it should just bolt right in w/ no major work done to the car. im just not sure, am i ganna have to strenghen the chasis with the new engine???

Neh, your chassis will be just fine. The engine will give you a good hp/torque increase, but not that much :D

alright cool, sounds good to me

gonna need a prelude chassis......other wise when you shift to second gear on an accord tranny.....the gears are so long that you wont be in VTEC when you go to second gear.......your gonna have to rev back up to it.

BLEH....... TRANNY not CHASSIS

well the h22a does come with the 5-speed transmission. that is the prelude tranny right???

That is correct, if you get the manual version. You can get it in an auto also, but I wouldn't recommend it.

whos all done the h22 swap whats the driving like with all that extra curb weight?

oh i have auto now and i completely hate it. im def. going manual with the engine swap.

that integra motor is a JDM version so it does have 210.....and thats just HP not torque, probably still only has 128 toruqe in it

I don't have it, but the extra weight does throw off the suspension. If you want a better handling car, you'll need to re-work the suspension.

yeah but guys who do h22 swaps usually go for drag =)

i plan to race once in awhile with my car. i do now, but not a lot. im not like a lot of people i know who just go out and drive around looking for races. if im out and i spot a race, ill race. but i dont go outta my way to find them. i need a new engine. i fried a ring. so i mine as well put out the money for a good engine if im ganna end up having to buy an engine. and on top of that, i do want a quick car.

I am sure you will be pleased with the H22 as a daily driver engine

i hope ill be pleased with it. how many people do you nkow that have the h22 put in there accords???

just one

Personally, nobody, but I know of many people who have done the swap with no problems.

yeah its pretty sucessful swap.

How come people dont do it? reading through the threads its a pretty favorable thing. I'm def. getting it, just depends on when im ganna get the money for it. most likely at the end of the summer is when im ganna get it, hopefully.

I think you just summed it up why most people don't get it. It's a money issue, and then even when you have that much money, you might be tempted to spend it on something else. I just got some insurance money so I finally have enough for mine and I'm ordering my engine today or tommorow!!!!!
