H22 FAQ

[garnish]

will the h22 bolt onto my exhaust? I heard that the header is too short. It this is true will it take alot of work attaching it?

[v4lu3s]

on a 4th gen accord the exhaust bolts right up
on a 5th gen there is a different flange so you have to take to an exhasut shop to get it done.

What's the Engine for Honda Accord 2000 EX?
Is it a F22 or a H22? Cuz it says VTECH on the ENGINE.

F23A ( i think its A).

I have a quick question will my 4th gen accord axles be strong enough to handle the extra power of the h22a.... and by chance does any body know how much heavier it is than an f22.

[Electronlude]

OK I have a h22a4 engine however im thinking of doing a tranny swap because i have a automatic ... do you think i would be better just going with the basic prelude tranny or the f22 ??? In the future i plan to do some NOS, and TUrbo ... so which one would be better plus more reliable?

[v4lu3s]

you have to use the accord axles with the h22a as the prelude axles are slightly too long and will cause cv failure pretty quickly.

will i need a mount kit for a 95 ex? and where is a good place to get an engine, should i go to a salvage yard or order it off the internet?

[v4lu3s]

not sure about mounts, i think you use accord mounts, i know its accord for a 90-93. www.h22a.org has a good walkthrough.
i ordered my h22's from www.jdmclub.com

all you guys talk about oh I wanna swap a h22a into my accord, but aren't you guys curious on what kinda 1/4s you will run?

JDM 92-96(200hp) h22a in 5th gen Accord?
JDM 97+(220hp) h22a in 6th gen Accord?

Also these would be stock, or even just i/h/e, but nothing else.

[v4lu3s]

the 220 hp one is the type s, the reg h22a that is newer than 97 is still 200

most people seem to pull between 14.5 and 15.5 on h22 accords...

[relentless]

Yeah i ve seen a guy at bandimiere (the drag strip near denver) which is higher altitude than even denver is and ran a 15.58. And fact is 4th gen accords like mine (four door in fact) are lighter than the newer prelude sh's.

Ive got a 99 Accord Dx. Its got an f23 engine with 135 hp. I can get the h22a with tyranny, swap, and tyranny install for 4400. Thats 2400 for engine, 1000 for engine swap, and 1000 for tyranny switch from automatic to 5spd. Thats basically 4400 for 64 more hp. But afterwards i can get a drag style turbo t3/t4 for 3,200 and install for 600. So thats around $8200 total. With forged pistons and rods and some other parts i could push 500 hp, but once again thats $8200 not includeing any other parts.

I would much rather get the h22a tyranny swapp and get a t3/t4 turbo charge for the f23. That would be alot cheaper.

Im wondering if u can get 150-200 hp+ from a t3/t4 turbocharge for an f23.. anyone know where?

thanks

there as a guy that was putting down 250 to teh wheels with a built block....featured in Honda Tuning a while back. he had a tuned manifold for improved spool up, and ran 10:1 compression...obviously he spent a LOT on tuning. the thing that i think an h22 holds over teh f22 in every form is less sacrifice of top end for low end and vice versa. vtec and dohc allow for a better high end with a better low end. a turbo will take a lot of that balance out though...then it gets down to how much you spend on machine work to build the engine, and make the head flow better.

i'm thinking bout putting in a new engine in my accord. wut would be da best choice? and how much hp would dat give me?
