racegas for a stock h22 with bolt ons . h22's are a good swap i dont know why people dont do it more often. costs the same as doing a gsr swap probably less. my buddies h22 made almost 200 whp with bolt ons and cams tuning with a vafc

exactly, with a GOOD header (rmf, smsp), nice exhaust and tuning, you can get 200whp fairly easily. slap some cams in, and get 215-220whp. and have a basically stock, reliable as hell set up that will run 12's. and yeah, they don't cost much more than a b16 swap really. with the full swap, lsd tranny, hcp mounts, axles, new clutch specialties clutch, lightened flywheel, rmf header, i'm only spending about 4k, that's about the same as a full gsr swap with a few extra goodies.

exactly. The only bad thing is its going to be more a pain in the *** putting that engine in my civic than a b16. I think thats the only reason why people stir from swapping h22 in their civcs.

the only thing that isn't bolt up really is swapping to the cable shifter for the tranny. i was going to run the h2b tranny conversion to keep my b16 tranny, but that ****** cost about 1500 bucks just for the adapter kit maybe next summer.

they've been weighed and compared, they're only 60 lbs heavier than a b series, so if you have a turbo kit on your b, they're pretty much equal weight.

I'd swap an h22 into my civic but don't want to bother with the auto-->manual conversion

NA is simple. FI gives ***** to whatever. (Turbo prop planes, turbo diesal trucks, trains, yada yada yada)
