arnt 92-96 h22s close deck?/ I thought they were solid engines, and the newer gens were poop...??? get a 96 H22 beef up your front suspension and brake.. 7grand is still a decent rev to play with.

Im not promoteing you do an H22 swap cuz its a biatch, i think b18 is the best way to go, but im just confused at some of the misinformation that surrounding the boards...


BTW fujative your my neighbour lol, well your towns my neighbour, im in Bracebridge, maybe youve seen my car around.

 

my buddy has a H23.

his motor blew, and now has a freshly rebuilt.
its actually faster then the VTEC. he has a non vtec and yes its very quick for all motor

 

yah my buddy blew a 23 also, what a wast of money rebuilding it... they are quick, but they pop quicker than h22s. weak everything, and they have oil circulation problems. 96 H22A will be swapping in very shortly the only good H series

 

And your saying through experience right?

 

^^^ lol all thos H22, and B18 Giant weiner hybrids over the years has proved it to be tru!!

 

oh ya sorry you have run an h22 in a 4 door and si hatch shifting at 7000 rpm and running 13's....

how about you take your civic to the track and make a run shifting at that...you wont' break anything else than a mid to low 14 sec run....it's proven..obvously you have no clue on what it takes to get a civic to 13's....especially a 4 door it woudl probobly break a high 14 sec pass on a slick...in a heavy eg si un gutted you might hit a high 13 sec pass on a slick and with good driving....in a gutted cx with a slick you might hit a low 13 sec pass.....h22 isnt' this maricle motor...it actually in design is a POS...but jsut because you have one you feel the need to defend it even though it's proven time and time again to blow up and burn oil and have weak internals.....Bandwagon motor, kinda like when ls vtec's started comgin out then everyone thought they were god until they built one and blew it to the moon....

 

I wasn't talking bout the 4 door.. I'm talkin bout the hatch..

I've had no probs with it whatsoever, almost 15K of **** kickin and still solid.. I wanna hear from like Hyperflow or someone else who's actually had/has an H22..

See, I won't go any further trying to defend the times cuz I haven't taken mine to the track yet.. That SRT-4 I ran in the vids hit 12.89 at the track on slicks with his boost up 1 point from when I ran him last. I know a guy with a 2300lbs hatch and B18C5 STOCK on slicks hitting 13.2(Got the vid of that too).. When I ran that srt, I never shifted past 7K and stayed close. Redlines starts at 7,400.. I'd like to see the powercurve for this motor.

Either way, I said keep up to 13 sec cars.. and yeah it will because I've done it in mine quite a lot..

Nobody's saying their the ultimate motors, I'm just disagreeing that they are that much worse than B18Cs..

 

agreed....but they aren't the most rev happy motor..the only ones worth anything are the closed deck blocks in the obd1 motors....you wont' blow your's revving to 7000 rpm..it's when you rev it right out to fuel cut which is around 8000 rpms I believe....they definalty are not a motor meant for long high rpm operation like the b18c's....yes a dyno curve is definalty needed here to get teh best shift point cause you might not even need to rev it out so hard...and hyperflow has a bullet proofed h22 block wiht darton sleeves and eagle rods....so no comparison..

 

Yeah I agree that you can't rev the H22 like you would a B16 or B18.. H22 redline starts @ 7,400. Good thing mine is a closed deck odb1 motor!

 

i prefer the b18

 

I like my H22 I rev it past 9g all the time...never had any probs.-------------odb1 all the way.
