How to tell the diff. from JDM type S H22?

[SBallerk2]

how can u tell the difference from the JDM TYPE S h22 "the 220 HP" from the regular ones here in the U.S. "190-200 HP"

[SBallerk2]

..I think I found out with some research that I did...red valve cover..right??? tho I found this h22 look a like stat a like engine tho it isn't an h22 it's a BLUE VALVE COVER JDM F20B SiR-T with 200HP 161Torque but has a Compression Ratio: of 11:0:1 anyone know of this?? please explain..web site is... http://www.splittingimagez.com/Engines.htm

where I got this info from.. also I'm a "ROOK" at this engine swapping thing..and we'll i'm not swapping any h22's or vtec engines..just yet but I may in my near future and well my question is what's up with this "Compression Ratio" is it better if it's like a lower number example 10:0:1 or better if it's higer like 10:0:6??? please explain this "Compression Ratio" thing...thankxx guyzzz

JDM Type-S (220) Motors came with Red Valve Covers. The "Blue Valve Cover" Motor is an F20B, coming out of a JDM Accord. An F20B is basically a destroked h22, with higher compression to make up for the loss in power.

As for Compression Ratios; For N/A, Higher is Better. For FI, Lower is Better.

Awww..I C...so for Prelude's it would be better to go N/A??...thankxxx signal..

Well, I wouldn't exactly put it that way. Prelude's can be boosted too, its just that they require more prep than most motors.

so the type s engine cant be put in a base prelude?

[SBallerk2]

well...saying I wanted to turbo an h22 vtec what steps would I take?? before putting a turbo KIT?? I mean to do it the right way and get MAX results from the TURBO KIT??

Yes, they can.

Well the first thing i would do is swap out the pistons for low comp. ones and resleeve the block.

[SBallerk2]

well I probally wouldn't swap the pistons..(I don't want to mess with that) besides I really wouldn't want to lower my comp. since If I understand h22 come 10:0:6 which isn't to high and well my realistic goal would be to hit mid-high 13 sec's...(stock high 14 sec's) dream goal would be high 12 sec's low 13 (but not if I need to drop serious stuff to the car and have it break down every other day)...is that possiable with out replacing the piston's??? cause...I mean that's probally too much money/problems...so I'm thinking max results but with a realistic GOAL...and really just for SHOW so people can hear my Lude go....1,2,3,4,5 VTECCCC shift pshhhhh!!! I can't and won't build the fastest LUDE or CAR so it'll be mostly show but no lil civic or teggy will ever take me

also what is "resleeving the block" remember..I'm learning for the first time...

if you want to boost more than 6-7 pounds, you have no choice but to swap the pistons and resleeve. theres a reason your 5th gen asks for premium only. 10:1 is high.

someone here said that i couldent fit the s engine because it has the atts but doesnt seem right because the atts wasnt attatched to the engine...

[ttsupra15]

hey guys you can buy these at http://www.jspecautosports.com/catal...spx?prod_id=16
the specs are 220hp@6800rpm

You can swap in a Type-S engine in if you have a Prelude SH model that has ATTS. The blocks are a bit different between atts and non-atts. If you still want the engine but put into a Prelude base model, then you need to find a SiR S-Spec Prelude engine, not the Type-S. They are the same, except the Sir S-Spec doesn't have atts (it had a LSD tranny instead).

If you still want Type-S power without swapping, just install Type-S cams, pistons, valve springs and retainers. That would be a cheaper way. However I am not 100% sure that those are the only diferences in engines. You may need to do some research.

I am getting ready to resleeve and change my pistons because i am preping for a turbo and am hoping to boost around 10-12psi ( i know its a lot but its a goal). if u want to hit those numbers on a track ur gonna have to do the same , resleeve and change pistons, or else u'll run into a common problem of frying a piston or braking the block itself. what u really need to do is put ur tools away and make a plan on what u want to do to ur car and then find out how and what steps to take in what order.
