Where do i go in Sydney...who has teh engines...what to look out for...etc etc etc

plzzzzzz help

[joyride]

you need to do alot of research if you dont know what you want for you and your car.
and alot of money too.

[DR HONDA]

The H22A is the more worth while conversion and is definetely not regretable. Although it is what the bank account allows you to do.

Cheers,


DR :honda:

cant you just do an engine rebuild!?

[Ozwolfbane]

if spending that much money might as well spend a bit extra and get something u can be *more* proud of ..not to mention 200hp of goodness

[*LUDE2C*]

Some H22a's Came out with 220hp (import engines) im on the search for one now but that would be the best option - pending how much u want to spend. I think u will have enough fun with the N/A engine rather than boosting it in my opinion.

[redliner]

it depends on how big your bank account is... ask Good Performance, they do alot of engine swap their.

its the difference between the h22a1's and h22a4's.. dont u have a h22z az?

You'd be looking at around 6 grand for a h22a conversion id be guessing, id try and know the engine code's and revisions so atleast u know what your looking for... You have a h23 atm.

[aznsiko]

get a H22A swap... it aint that expensive... and you will get more power... my mate has a honda accord with the stock F22 in it and he is gettin a transplant... a H22A for $5000 icluding labour and everything... at Good Performance at Yenora... speak to a dude name Charlie.. he knows his shit... HAPPY MODING lol...

Hey, im new on here
Just had the same thing happen, dropped the bottom end and F'ed my F22A,
in last 3 week found it hard to source a H22A and most ppl arent bringing them in as they are harder to sell, than the b16/18 eng

i have spoke to online preformance, it will cost about 3900 all up to get my old eng taken out, new one put with fitting of parts supplyed by me new belts etc
but in that cost new a new mircotech fitted and tuned.


your cost will be swaping the loom over thats why i have looked at going microtech

while the car was at my other mechcanics, he had it left out side over night had just had my driver side window smashed and head unit amp and sub go wlaking

[Ozwolfbane]

sad to hear...is the mechnic taking responsibilty ??

[91'lude]

he'd have to , you could sue him if he doesnt.

[NogZ]

how do you tell when the bottom end goes?

bloody hell seems like cars left outside are like 3x likely to be broken into than in a garage or something

[mzoghbi]

to find out your bottem ends gone you would hear your bigend bearing making a loud noise or you would hear your con rodds noise. my bottem end went out with my jdm h22a and was getting it rebuilt when it wouldnt so i had no choice to put another engine in costed me 2000 to the engine replacemtn with engine labour etcc...
its costing you more because you would have to do a full conversion with the ecu.. and 2 extra wires.etc...

Hey my h23a died at 300000km so i picked up a h22a from parts plus lansvale (hume hwy) for $1000. best $1000 i ever spent!

[|N|]

i know chi would suggest good performance - charlie

[Ozwolfbane]

actually my mechanic can do it much cheaper :) , depending on the engine he can do it in like 1500$ fast lane
