wassup guys, i'm new here, i just came back from the good old military.. haha. but anyways, i got a 97 2.2 CL, i was wondering, anyone got some good times on this slow car after fixing it up? the cars nice, it's just too slow... any engine swaps, engine mods? thanks again guys.

 

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.

 

What's a "noob"?

 

newbie.... noobie.... leads to noob......

 

wana buy an engine?

 

hehe.. yea.. a "noob" here.. lol.. but yea.. a h22a fits in our cl's?? weird... does the h22a have more torque? u guys think if i put a 3.0 engine in my car it'll be better? cause, i think my engine's dying.. i got 180k miles.. hahaa.. thats y.. about to get a new engine or a new car.. what you guys think?

 

the H22 is a direct bolt-up.. and comes with a tranny too.. that is a 5spd.
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.

 

hehe... =) h22 eh? thats what i was thinking to, but isn't a v6 always better? and which h22 do i get?

 

Welcome! Post some pics if you can.

 

Just hit 186,000 but i think someone has more

 

Welcome to the board

 

my h22a is the best one to get..

 

how much?

 

6500 bucks?.. motor has 15000 miles on it.. 3 grand in parts.. thats a hooked up price btw.. and 2 grand at the machinist.. and the motor was 2000.. never been cranked since the rebuild

 

6500 installed price? i dont get it.

 

turbo kit included?
are you willing to part with the turbo kit?

 

turbo's mine.. i'm keeping the engine too.. i'm just wondering if i could sell it if i had to

 

hey f0de since you're the expert it seems. can you tell me exactly what i gotta do to put the h22a, and what i'll be runnnin in 0-60 and quarter mile? thanks. i just wanted an idea from the expert.

 

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

 

are you serious? dayam.. thanks.
