will likely get one in the near future. im looking at a 5th gen at 2:30 today! God, i'm starting to like my accord though, so easy to drive, great mileage just needs AC or for me to go ahead and boost it. comfortable too, goddamn.


oh yah, i got pulled over last night, cop thought it was a 2003

Ive had a stock H22A4 and the EuroR H22A with the redtop typeS head......dont really notice that much of a difference. would NEVER blow my money on such a mild upgrade. Id get Skunk2 Pro2 cams instead. and if i wanted to be really hardcore get the Pro3's with a built motor.....but NA motors are a waste of money IMO

Upgrading pistons is not an easy thing to do in a H22A since it has FRM sleeves and can't be bored and in most cases can't be honed. You pretty much have to resleeve the engine, or hope that your cylinders are in good enough condition that you can do a very light hone and run standard sized type S pistons.

allmotoronly holdin in down as usual. just quoted this to emphesize on the, "not so easy to install type s pistons" comment becuase even the rispins are different. so when buy the type s pistons you have to make sure you get those too because you can't get them from your local honda dealer store. and on top of that most places that have type s pistons are selling the over bored ones so you'd have to completely resleeve which in my honest opinion is not worth it if you're not looking to make serious power.


It's funny cause I built 3 h22's as well and 1 of them the bottom end failed because of bearings as well lol. I sold one and I still have one. that one I don't know what I want to do with it yet.

great thread! it's good to see actual factual info on I.A.

ps you right about the honta-tech comment lol.

yea I forgot to mention the wrist pins. Eagle makes rods specially for the type S pistons. They are the ESP series and come with wrist pins.

You are correct about resleeving not being worth it. Unless someone is looking to build a high boost turbo engine, or a very high compression N/A engine, it's really not worth the $1000+ it costs to get a H22A resleeved.
