Read most the thread but far from all of it so let me say this much.

I also have an H22 but I do have the H22A4 and noticed a power gain after the swap...but definitley not a rocket by any stretch of the imagination.

Basically the swap was just the beginning point on my journey to a "fast Accord" not a Civic...not an Integra...not a 300 ZX but an Accord.

There are limitations to every car and weight is the big one with the Accord no matter how you size it up. If you are looking to be as fast as a Civic or a Focus then start cutting stuff out of your car right now....seats, door panels, dash, matting, glass replaced with Lexan....then you may just come within a couple hundred pounds of weighing in at the same weight as a stock Civic LX.

You have a good starting point but if you want a rocket then you bought the wrong car or you haven't done anything to the engine.

Not bragging but mine after the engine work is done in the next week will be pushing for low 14s high 13s all motor. Its just the first step of many to swap the engine out is all. You have to be realistic or you will always be dissapointed no matter what you do to it.
