Your money's probably better spent on the JDM H22, and then working towards a turbo kit, b/c that engine IS expensive.

he payed 6k$? what is the difference in the type s? is it 4k worth of a power difference? man, that doesnt really seem feasible to me... thats too much money, almost the value of teh car.

WOW... I didn't think they were going to be that much!! Ya, I think
I would stick with a high compression H23 or H22 with nos.
thanks for the replys

20 more horsepower than a regular jdm h22. 197 vs 217.

www.jdmhondaparts.com I think they said it was $4500 a couple months ago, im too lazy to look what it is now...not worth the money

I still couldn't justify paying a few grand extra for 20 more hp, whether it's all motor or not. That extra few grand could by a JRSC or a turbo kit.

www.HMotorsonline.com has them in stock. I saw some yesturday. If you guys order from him tell him that i sent you. Scott from Saugus. Maby i can get some free stuff. haha

fourthgeneration · 10-30-2002, 01:52 PM

20 hp is not worth the extra 3500

92 SI Ludester · 10-30-2002, 02:20 PM

it would even be cheaper to by a jdm h22 and get the type s internals and swap them in...still not worth it though...why spend the extra money to go to a stock motor? why not buy aftermarket cams, rods, pistons and all the other goodies instead of going Type S

jpprelude · 10-30-2002, 04:26 PM

Here's the cheapest I can find it

Osaka

$2900 isn't bad, depending on how much shipping is.

Is the Type S CR really 10.6:1?

4TH Gen_Type S · 10-30-2002, 05:50 PM

yah i payed 6k and i waited for almost 8 weeks when they ship it from japan and then rebuilt it

but yah its all good cos all the internal parts are brand new... they rebuild the whole engine and replace all the old gaskets, water pump belts etc...... then they hook me up with a new JDM trust header and Jun Cam gears....

here is the pics
