Engine swapping

If you are talking about a 2.2 or 2.3 the fastest way you can go is the JDM H22A that puts out a stock 220hp. From there you can turbo it up or add your basic add ons to it.

With all that time and money you had spent on an LS/V swap, you could have a built f22 or h22 that pushes 250+ whp.
I'd pick a CRV block with a B16/B18 head. Low compression, high boost! My friend is doing that swap into his teggy.

if ur doin the whole motor swap then all u need to do is fool the comp into thinkin its still in D or u will have a rev limiter. (like the one u have now with the car in park or neutral.) which is also the hardest part about doin the swap for a 6 speed type-s swap into the 3.0. (which i plan on doin sometime this year woo hoo)

Without being over-optimistic an F-series running mild boost can put down 220 to the wheels. A H22A swap which would end up costing similar money would put down a good 40 Horsepower less to the wheels. Of course a boosted H22A will put down more then a boosted F22 but like I said before your budget and your ultimate horsepower goal is what determines which route you take.

Woo!... you guys are really into swaps and you give alot of knowledge but I just need to know if I can get 200 to 240 more horse power when I swap and to what engine whether it be a F22/23 or H22 (becuase I don't know engines, I'm relying on your info).
I have this stupid 4cylinder automatic that goes no where very fast. If I have to swap my engine at a cost of no more than $3000 then I will; all I want is more speed (not track speed).

How could a car that puts 180 to the wheels put up a nice run against a car that puts 220 to the wheels. (the turbo will add some extra weight, but not enough to make a difference) It will not. A 40 horsepower difference to the wheels is huge. That difference is like the difference between a GSR and a Civic EX.

Bisimoto Engineering is heavily involved in the Sport Compact race scene as well. The Team 400m CRX serves as a test bed for a majority of our products. The car 4882 currently has multiple world records in the pro stock/all motor class using a naturally aspirated SOHC Honda engine. Accolades this past season includes a 2003 IDRC All Motor Class Championship.
Dude, I'm not being biased here cuz I don't even have an F-series in my car, I have a J30 in my whip, I'm just not going to buy into popular opinion, I question everything and depending on your budget going the boosted F22 route can be better then doing a H22A swap.
Like I said before your budget and your goal dictate everything.

its more than likely the used the f22 because of the engine bay limitations and the oversteer probelms that happen when the H is put in. Its a lot easier to fit a turbo on the f22 in that small of a space. Not to say that the f22 isnt a good engine, but if one were to spend the money on a turbo, it wouldnt be much more to go ahead and swap an H in because of its increased performance and vast selection of parts. Far more than the f22.
