The H22A is fetching about $3K for a JDM H22A vs. $900 for a B20B.
It's not the rods that have the problem, it's the rod bolts. Upgrade those alone, you're good to 8k reliably. I know firsthand what the stock rods can do...my roommate had an LSVTEC with ARP bolts and shotpeened OEM LS rods...9500 rpm all day. He also had a balanced rotating assembly, and used the crank girdle.

I agree, the B20 is the best swap, offering lots of options...N/A nonvtec, CRVTEC, boost, nitrous.
That's an impressive feat.. 9500 on a B20 w/ stock bore & stroke! :eek3:
