Does a h22 engine swapped into a 4th gen have a lot of potential or will you not gain much hp for your parts that you install?

 

Depends on what kind of engine you have in there now. There are 3 models of 4th gen. S, Si and VTEC.

The S has a F22. Low end.
The Si has a H23. Mid range
The VTECH has a H22. High End.

So if you are tossing in a h22 into one that has a f22 now, you'll see big improvements. If it's going into one that is an Si (h23) you'll see a bit of more power but not a ton.

The VTEC model is the exact same engine. h22. So unless there is something drastically wrong with the current h22, you will see no diffrence.

The h22 is an excellent engine. Some will argue that it is one of the best ones honda has ever made, if not THE best. But that's a huge debate. I'm not a gear head so I don't know much about other engines... but I know the h22 has lots of upgrades and has lots of potential. About as much potential as I know of for a 4 cylinder engine.

Supposedly, the fastest inline 4cyl engine car is a highly modified, turbo h22. I'd say that's good potential. :thumbup:

 

Ive heard that the b-series engines have more potential the h22's though, but i stillwant an h22

 

depends on what you consider potential.

I'm not very well informed about everything but know you can get aftermarket parts for just about every aspect of a H22.

I don't know any advantages that the b series has over the h22. Might want to inquire in the Engine Tech forum... they could give a much better answer than I.

 

You will have more luck with finding parts for a b series. Not that there isn't parts for the h22, there is just more parts for b series motors. I have never seen a b series swapped into a lude but it could be pretty cool. It would have to be a b18c or c5 to even be worth it hp wise.

 

In a GEO PRIZM?????
Never heard of that one.
