build a GSR, easier to fit and not much difference in power once you start boosting likt 15-20psi

oh my friends civic with his h22 isnt bad at all when it comes to steering. if u are steering in one spot yeah thts a lil hard. but not when driving.

From what i heard, you will have some major understeer problems, im not sure though.

you're talking about a 5g civic right? Either way, the civics have power steering.

This was borrowed hybridgarage.com:

The 2.2L and 2.3L Prelude motors can be stuffed in the 4G engine bay with cutting, pounding, welding, and basic indifference to structural safety. We highly advice against it.

A normally aspirated fully built H22A VTEC motor would be very strong, and should be capable of low 12sec slips. However, very few H22As are actually faster than built B18Cs.

The prelude motor is significantly heavier than the stock 4G motors, and the additional front weight bias will spell u-n-d-e-r-s-t-e-e-r. If you love the way your car handles now, think twice about the big 'lude swap. If you do, you must get bigger front brakes, or at least aggressive pads, to haul you down without drama.

I have not driven a 4g w/H22, but i have been in one (he wouldnt let me drive it!). But the under steer statement is true.

hell ofcourse if i did road racing i wouldnt pick the h22a but for me its good. drives fine on the street when driving normal but usually i gun it in a straight line. if u like to do some fast turns then yeah stick with b16's i guess.

A friend of mine has a H23 with H22 head in his CRX boosted and it hauls ***. Of course it's full drag and runs mid to high 9's in Colorado. Might have heard of him. Brent from PFI. In Ft Collins, Co.
