i dont know lude gens....so yea :rick:

 

its been done, several threads on it.
some dude did it a long time ago
he had a turbo h22 in a 3rd gen, thing was rediculously fast

oh i'm sure it can be done, but i'm also sure that it's not easy.

 

go to preludepower.com there are several people right now doin the swap. the guy who had the turbo h22 3rd gen spent like 50 grand as well and is makin like 500hp to the wheels. the biggest problem with swappin an h22 in the 3rd gens is that the mounts that place racing sells are off about a half inch so you have to make your own or modify them yourself. it's a pain in the ass probably costs about 4-5 grand to do. but they haul ass when finished.

 

lol, the owner of that car will need the acceleration to avoid the slap upside the head for spending $50k on a 3rd gen. But, alas, some people just get obsessed over these things. Lol, I would've loved the possibility of swapping an H22 into my 2nd gen (1987 DX), I would've gone from 100 flywheel hp to 200 lol. It was a prelude, I loved it at times, and it was good to me, but for the most part man I hated that car.
Anyway, was just thinking, since the 3rd gens used B-2xs, and the tegs use b-series engines, are there any relationships whatsoever to mounts? Or does it just so happen that they share the same letter designation, and that's it?

 

h22!!!!

The B- series in the 3rd gen lude is different than the b series we all love to hate. YOu can put a b16 vtec head on them but takes MAJOR machine work and a custom head gasket. Not a cheap proposition.

 

thats it. the old b20a has almost nothing in common with the rest of the b series family.

 

About the engines:

H22:
Lower Redline due to Rod / Stroke
Higher Torque and HP stock
Sits foward
Weak Ringlands
Stronger crank
Costs more to modify due to the fact that you have to resleeve to run forged pistons.

B18C:
Higher redline
leans backwards
Easier to modify
Better designed
Swapable with just about every civic / integra out there.

the bad side is that everyone has one.

 

im afraid i cant agree with everything you said

h22 is not limited by its rod/stroke ratio
its limited by its head
ive heard of stock h22 bottom ends reving to 9000 no problem
you mainly have to watch out for popping a retainer

as far as the h22a sitting forward, i dont have any idea what your talking about, unless u mean the CG of putting a H in a civic or integra, all honda H series lean backwards, look at the balance shaft bores

how are the h22a ringlands weak?
the rest of your "facts" seem more like opinion to me.

the main reason that some1 would choose a H22a over a B18c is the torque. end of story
