I saw an accord wagon with a boosted H22, that thing was pretty nasty. if you want some power do that, but it will cost you some money.

H22 is the way to go ! just remember to check with state laws about motor swaps and do it right so inspection won't be a problem .

I have to agree. H22 = Tq. And I've read about a number of Supercharger kits, for that engine, that will help it make some serious power at only 7 Psi.

hehehe...get an F22b1 and some boost. My accord made 230whp/wtq on 8lbs of bewst. That would be awesome...and Wagons rawk...wish they had made a manual wagon with the F22b1...v6 is ghey and the h22 would be pretty awesome...I am bias to my sohc v-TAK! . I like the feel of my car under boost and an H22 swap with boost would be insane expensive. the F22b(1)is pretty awesome. No complaints unless its in NA form. A striped down wagon with a built H22 would be awesome...
