Reading from your previous posts it would seem like you didn't get the power gains you wanted because you bought a lot of "big name" mods that didn't really live up to their reputations, ie...mugen, jun. Its very much possible to make more power with your h22a, you just have to know which mods to make. I forget how long ago, but their was a thread about a guy who made 190hp on h22a and the only mod was a dc sport header with 2.5in collector. Thats pretty good seeing as how stock h22's lay down 170-180hp and considering that there are much better headers out like RMF, Hytech, SMSP, etc... The h22a is great motor to have in a hatch. You just can't beat the low end grunt given by the h22. And nowadays you got the h2b kit which makes swapping an h22a in a hatch much easier and cheaper than it was a couple of yrs ago.Originally Posted by allmotoronly
The cost of the k series swap is what makes it unattractive. This motor is going into an EK hatch. K-swaps for this chassis range anywhere from 7.5k to 10k+. An h22a swap w/h2b would be less than 5.5 grand including labor. You could pay 10k or 5.5k for one of two setups that would yield comprable performance. This is of course if the engines were stock of course.
now if you wanna talk about mods, then the k-series is superior. The k20 responds to simple bolt-ons(I,H,E) remarkably well. On honda-tech.com there are plenty of guys running k20's w/I/H/E and breaking 200hp! The motor is amazing, it's possible to see 230hp w/out even going into the engine. The only catch is that this **** is expensive as hell. But like I said, the k-swaps are just too exspensive to be practical. If you have a safe full of money, go k-series. If you want the most grunt/bang for your buck, go h22, you won't be dissapointed.
