whats with all you noobs? j/k man.
welcome to the CL family...... happy posting.
as for swaps.. there is a member that was ready to do a swap f0de.. he'll chime in in a second i'm sure. to make a long story short, he's got a 10k engine and no car...... anymore at least.
there are a few members that use the ZEX kit, and they are getting 14's or less with the 3.0. the times for the 2.2 range anywhere from the mid 14's(nitrous) , to lower mid 16's (stock). most people with i/h/e are able to put down 15.7 at the track..... faster if you get ignition.. so on.........
not the fastest car in the world.. but afterall.. it is a luxury coupe that can hold it's own in handling.

there are lots of mods that you can do to it.........same power as the 3.0
you only have to modify one motor mount to drop the H22 in, the J30(3.0) is different in the mounting....... and comes with no stick.
a good H22 can be had for about 2,500 with ECU and tranny. that would definately be my choise.
BTW i think you just took the top honors for highest mileage CL.

um, high 14's with a stock h22a prolly.. i never actually did the swap, but i've heard you need to relocate a mount, and some other ppl say it bolts right up.. the engines are really close (f22a h22a).. mine's fully built and i was expecting to run 12's or high 11's with a shot of nitrous.. non turbo.. go with hondamotorsonline.com and mention mike d from jersey, he'll hook you up on an h22a.. they're motors are pretty good and they give you everything, axles, ecu, mounts if you want them.. gluck
