the h22a has weak ringlands
honestly for the price of an h22 longblock, IMO youd be a fool to go to a B series motor if you are money-minded.
and of course my favorite part is also the TQ
having the H22a1 USDM in my 4G lude is great, even with stock exhaust and only I/H i murder civic si's, gsr's, rx-8's, basically most other imports on the road.
now think about the h22 in a civic thats 400 lbs lighter or even a 2100 pound CRX
thats where the TQ matters

:werd: h22 in a 4g lude OWNS...trust us...
I'd take a h series engine in a civic over a b anyday...unless i was auto Xing
