Sup to all, i have an ff22a4 (since i messed up my original f22a1) in my 94 prelude S. I'm considering getting an h22a, my questions for those who've done it, or have driven the lude with both motors. Is it worth the time and money for the power gains ? Can you feel a noticeable amount of differnence, or should i just keep what've I got ? thanx for any, all input.

 

I swapped my H23A for a jdm just like it, and I don't know if it's the engine mount inserts that I installed or if it's the engine itself, but it feels like it has alot more torque, like I need another gear added to my five speed, the tranny is the original! It has enough power to get me in more trouble than I can get out of!

 

go with the h22 swap it's worth it i think

it's alot more money than a f22a4


check your local import junks yards for some deals

 

I have owned an accord with an A20A3 w/122 hp, a 88 prelude with a B20a5 w/135 hp, and now I have an h22a in my 01 prelude, the obvious 200. So I have had some experiance with Honda motors. From my experiance, you will feel a huge differance from the f22a4 to the H22a. For one you would be gaining a raw 58 hp!! I am extreamly happy with the performance of the h22a. The engineering is awsome! Its a block I plan on keeping.

So if you want to get from point a to point b, get the cheaper f22a4. If you want performance, and something you can mod (plan on keeping it), then I would go with the H22a.

have you considering turboing the f series? I can dig up a link to guy who did a dsm setup and got huge tq at pretty low rpms... it would never be a high revving monster, but if youre like me, thats not what its about.

If you dont have a lot of money go with a f23 and either an h22 or h23 head and have the head machined. You will get higher performance out of either of these and it will be cheeper.
