no, that would defeat the point.
the h22 is a much larger engine compared to the b18, and it is not everyday you see a boosted h22 in an accord because most are fine with just the swap. (there are alot of hilly areas around here too)

the accord is stylish, esspecially the 94-97 models (tho i do give props....errr i dont like that word, but i'll use it anyway, to the new civics) with it's nice edges and curves, and is a much more handsome sedan from the generation.
the accord is also a great base for an all around car with it's suspension and handling, aswell as it's stability during all kinds of weather. not to mention i wanted to be original for my area, and i dont see many h22 accords around, tho i do think they are around (i live in the bridgeport/hartford area of CT)

i'm only looking for a 300 at the crank starting point, i mean eventually i might push it past the 400 point with a linear nitrous flow or more boost (i do not condone the use of nitrous in shots, but can stand it's use in slow increments up the rpm scale for short periods of time)

i am interested in the beauty of a car as well as it's performance, and i dont slap on a coffee can exhaust to be loud, or take out my cats and pretend my car is a boat.... it is about an experience, so just stop with the negative "this project has no point" attitude, though i do understand your argument.

hondas are not race cars. (if you were to do half the mods people do to a honda to bring it up in speed to a real powerful engine it would whip the hell out of any inline 4, not counting the accord 6cyl ) but i'm not going to hate people who race them either
