nice info there JSK... but who is Mr. X (PM me if you don't want to say on the board) just curious who the solo 1 guy is...

what kinda car was the h22 put into?

and kinda suspension is he sportin??

imported_JookSingKid

EG hatch

i believe the suspension is a full JIC coilovers, with front rear strut bars, beefy sway bars, doluck bar and a few others.
bascially every bar you can put into a hatch.

punkindrublic

ya i can imagine... so would getting itr sway bars be beneficial with the bigger engine?

imported_JookSingKid

i don't think the ITR sway bar is any miracle solution.

Like Mr.X says don't try to cheap out if you want to make this work.

"u need to play with the suspension to find what really works"

so be prepared to play.

punkindrublic

i like to play


i'm wondering if a gsr motor would better suit me though... i get the benefits of being able to run an itr tranny... a plethora of aftermarket bolt ons... probably around the same price with less work from me

imported_Cablerat

same price / less work but also less results.

punkindrublic

but more potential down the road... and in general more options...

imported_JookSingKid

gee rick! you're starting to sound like james, lol.

getting all flip floppy lol.

i thought this was an h22 thread

don't turn it into a h22 vs b18c thread... even though you started it.

imported_loudsubz

haha i think ricks gonna end up with a z6 forever

punkindrublic

ya i know... damn honda giving to many options.... i'll probably end up getting what ever is on for a good deal at the time though... as long as its more then 1.6L i'll be happy

Well let me tell you guys..I have a fully built h22 in my eg hatch lots of power------ie ect,ect to much **** to list come talk to me at the KC meets. cyaa

Rick, do the h22, for the price, performance cannot be beat,

and a gsr swap for the same price as h22??? ... clean out your bong, the engine alone sells for $2500..

letalone a type R tranny with lsd is going to cost around $1500.00


for $3000.00 that h22 will be installed correctly and everything running nice, with 200hp and 160 tq on tap...no GSR will touch that with a 100 ft pole...

either way, ive driven a gsr swap in eg, and after I installed that h22 at Seans shop, I had a smile on my face when i hoped on the gas, and then vtec poped WOW!!!

imported_BoOsTd

noone can resist an H22 vtec

red90dx

oh no, i can see that posted at the bottom every one of your posts

punkindrublic

i must admit the h22 is hard to resist

imported_loudsubz

h22 brings a smile to my face

punkindrublic

john lo is selling a gsr swap with SiR tranny and other nice stuff for $2900... if i can get some money from the bank or other arrangements can be made i think i'll take it... made 173 hp at the wheels

H22 would be ok, for DRAG but track use if you go with this motor i would consider using a suspension setup that would suit the weight of the motor, for instance Progress.

ummmmm i actually think you';re right Rick, for HP/TQ for the money it cant be beat.... ummmmm

it all depend on what your budget is.....
me personally i like the LS motor B18B, if you need more room.
boost it, but i would definately work on the internals of a B18b for sure.

thats my choice. if i had a hatch like your's.......
i would do a B18B fully built with low comp pistions suitable for boost.....

that is all
