The H-swapped Civic I saw at my local cars & coffee
(lemmy.world)
H22A1. Guy said it makes 360 HP on 10 lbs of boost. Weight plus driver is 2,500 lbs. I asked him why an H instead of a B or K. His answer: "Nobody else is doing it."
As a Prelude owner, I immediately recognized the H. They're excellent engines that never had their time in the sun. Mad respect.
Here's a few others I liked
SW20 MR2
Ford Falcon
And then this guy showed up with a Countach so my dreams of having the coolest car there are shattered lol
Brings back memories. H22 swapped EG and EK's were the "cheaper" way to pump over 200hp back in 2007-08 where I live. That was in the times when we started to get JDM TypeR engines but those were often more expensive than the car they were put in. So many people either went the B20 Frankenstein version (CR-V block with GSR head mostly) or H22 since these were domestic and almost half price from ITR or CTR drive trains. I remember seeing ONE K swapped civic, they were unicorn rare in those days.
I remember those times too! The only downside to the H22 was the additional weight over B16/B18. As long as you are going straight it doesn't matter.
I got to ride in an H22 swapped Accord a few times. After owning two Accords I could definitely feel the difference.
