Title: new engine swap? nsfw
Post by: notfastcrx on June 11, 2009, 06:52:35 PM: So i'm ready for a new engine swap in the crx. i have a chance to get either a k20a3 or h22 locally and i need some opinions. both swaps will cost around the same when said and done. personally i think the h22 has more potential with torque and base hp. also the h22 is more rare these days in the crx's. i know you guys hate the k20 swaps so i'll just guess ur all rooting for the h22. let me know what you think. thanks

ps heres some eye candy for your troubles...

the k swap will cost over 5k when you get it all done. sounds like a no brainer for me. besides, its your ride do what you want.

Post by: 2point2 on June 11, 2009, 10:04:47 PM: If I was to do it over again I'd still use the H22.. mostly because of the cost of installing a K series engine as well as the cost of breaking a k series engine.

Went 10.7 @ 137 with a stock h22 and a 57 trim in a CRX; put the slicks in the hatch, opened the sunroof and drove it back home.

Because people care what Honda-Tech thinks.

no because they realize the swap is worthless for cost vs potential.

why anyone would swap a k series and turbo it into anything other than a factory k car is beyond me, jdm points maybe?
