i think a h22 is the cheapest i mean for the power and good fitment into an accord...

you can pick one up for 2000-2500.. and installed it for 3grand... you can't do that pretty much with a bseries....

you might pick up a f-series but those engines are rarer and harder to find parts if you blew your motor or something =)

so i recommend the h22 and why you are objected to it?

Im not really just dont wanna swap it in myself never have done it and 3k is expensive right now theres no jdm swaps with any less? whats the f22a I was told this would be a good candidate

If you don't have 3K you won't get any swap with 150-170 horse installed.

You can try doing work on your stock engine, but if you don't have 3K, leave it alone until you do. Figure $700 for install, that only leaves $2300 to buy the engine/tranny/mount kit, etc....

Yeah man true i do have 3 k jus want something a tad better then stock i heard the jdm f22a is like 140 or 145 horse? an can pick these engines up for 6-800? but i dont know if the tranny and ecu would work?

lol if you dont have atleast 2000 grand your not gettin anything.
not even a stock motor installed back into that car.

places charge anywhere from 500-1500 just for the labour and you want them to give u a motor and swap it too? good luck.

any f series motor can bolt onto a f series tranny
any h series motor can bolt onto a f series tranny aswell but i wouldnt recommend it.

who said i wasnt willing to spend the money> I just didnt really want a h22a but if thats all there is then i guess thats all i have to choose from then, and im not worrying about labour I have many of friends that have installed b16s b18s and h22s so its all good jus wondering what everyone thought would be my best bet
