Newbie...H22 swap help.

[Neronian]

I have a accord 97' and the engine just gave out on me.
Now I am thinking about getting H22. I have a friend who can get
a 97' H22A USDM and install for $3,600. I think it is a good deal.

I have been doing some research on the H22A engine. My friend told me that
the engine came from "97 Prelude SH." Now, I am confused.
What is so special about Prelude SH? How can I tell that the engine really come from "Prelude SH." I do not want to get ripped off.


Another question is, I already have a turbo kit but it's for accord engine. I am thinking about turbo the H22. I can have it custom fit H22 for $500 but my friend does not recomend turbo H22.

What do I have to do to get 250Hp with out heavy mod or spent too much money?

Please be kind.......

both the 5th gen prelude SH and prelude base come with the same engine.

You can mod the h22a engine, with proper tuning and building up your internals right, just check all the forums on turbos and stuff.
