What About the H22!??
I am an in the same boat as 90% of you 7th gen heads. "I want a K20", I said those words and was convinced that was my dream. A bad *** turbo K20 with a top end to rip your head off.
I know because I have been in one of these monsters. I passed tools during its swap into a '03 civic LX. The car is rediculous, and it continued my lust for the STI, EVO and Mustang eating +300 HP sleeper
.
Today I was sitting at work and thought "What about the H22!??". Can it COMPARE, would it be EASIER, is it CHEAPER?? Think about that.... Everyone here wants a K20, **** so do I, but have any of you seen an H22 in a 7th gen. I havent, at least not one that stuck out over a K20. Would it have the same potential, as the new $6000-$8000 swap that took its job. I remember a few years back when everyone wanted an H22 and never did it, cuz IT COST TOO MUCH.
I wonder if it would be worth my while to compromise what I really want verses the extremely under rated H23 bottom end and H22 VTEC head. A frankenstein thats good for at least 200 HP just as much as the Type S. I believe they made the '00-'01 prelude SH in the 6 speed. And I dont need the whole front end of an RSX to swap it in.
I know swap shops are much more comfortable with the H22 swap verses the K20. I want your input and really think if you have seen this swap and possible give some details. I talked to my boy with the K20 in his LX and he thinks that if I get the head done with titanium valve train and cams I would smoke an RSX or swapped Civic for the same money they paid for the car or the swap and I believe it.
Anyone who has a say, say it. I think that H22 would be faster for less.
Let me know.
