You g*t,

nice one man! Pleased for you! I can't decide H22 or sell the lude in 12months and get a supra or summit......HELP ME!!!!

preludechic · 06-10-2002, 12:45 PM

I'd get an H22. That way you can experience the VTEC motor (I'm assuming you have a 2.3, why else would you want the H22 LOL), and then if you get tired of that, THEN get the Supra. And ShadowZZ- Awesome, man! You'll love it. Any plans for it yet?

blkvteclude · 06-10-2002, 10:38 PM

ahh i remember my first time just 3 weeks ago congrats !

ds2000 · 06-11-2002, 03:06 AM

How'd the swap go Shadowzz? Everything smooth? How long did it take?

I'm so jelous, I'm thinkin that preludechic, I've found an H22 for $1000 (brain starts ticking), its the the F20a, I could put the F20b head on but it would only kick 160 out.

I need the $1000 tho

Donations accepted!

shadowZZ · 06-11-2002, 01:34 PM

The swap was good, it took 8 hours straight, it was quite easy for XES and me since it was a straight drop, other than that it had no real problems, its very quick compared to the f22

Stupid me, i didn't even check to see where you were from! Now explain to me what the F20A is, because I haven't a clue.

That's a really good price for an H22, though.

Welcome to the darkside! Now why the hell didnt you test it that night. I know when I started mine up, I couldnt wait to drive the *****....even took my pops for a ride when I finished it.

shadowZZ · 06-12-2002, 02:46 AM

I didnt test it out that night since I didnt have the downpipe on me and when we started it up it sounded like a V8 so the next day we put on the down pipe and took t for a bag, so nice to feel some real power, well future mods are in the mix right now, cant really say until I get some sufficient funds but it wont stay this way for long maybe we will see a turbo kit on my car in the near future

NOSlude · 06-12-2002, 10:48 AM

slp mode · 06-13-2002, 12:11 AM

I just had the h23 h22 head swap done.when I get the kinks ironed
out I sure would like to race a pured blooded h22.The waiting and
wondering is killing me.

Ya for sure Ryan, but I would so rather have your motor anyday

Tola · 06-13-2002, 07:35 AM

Did you run into any problems installing the motor? I'm thinking of pulling out my H22 and inspect it and torque up every damn bolt on there. I'm having a rattle that I cannot figure out where it's comming from.
