H22's came from prelude's......... the main difference between an H22 & B16's and ZC's is cost....... a first gen B16 or ZC swap is fairly cheap to do....... while with an H22 swap......... in most cases you'll have to upgrade your suspension with a GSR setup...... and the swap itself takes awhile to do..... which means $$

if you're looking for a bit more power then a B16....... think about a B18C1 (GSR)

P.S. Just saw that your ride is an accord...... not a civic....... so in this case i dont think you need to upgrade the suspension to a gsr setup

ahh ok.....

if you get a 4th gen hatch....... i would go with a 1st gen B16 or a Zc

5th or 6th gen hatch....... look into a 2nd gen B16 or a Gsr

Crx...... B16 or Zc
