Well we will see. Money is more of the issue than remembering where bolts go. I also want to walk before i run. It is all open right now though so i think i'm going get the info i need then numbers both ways and see from there. Hopefully i will have a full garage and all the equipment i need and that would make it easier either way. If i commit to it i can rebuild my F22 in a weeks time of work. but i can also just get an H22 and build it on my time and then put it in. I know i would want forged pistons but i don't know if it is easy to sleeve an H22. but again how much do you think an H22 would be? and could i get a blown motor and build that?

- Sleeving the F22 or H22 should be nearly the same in cost/work. You will probably have to send it out for that...
- "35,000k mile" H22's go for about $1,500, but you could get lucky at a junkyard. I don't know if I would recommend rebuilding a blown motor unless you are rebuilding everything. I've never done it before, so I couldn't tell.

RE: Easy horse Power
I actually was leaning a little to building the F22 because it has cast iron cylinder walls so it doesn't need it... but that WAS on the internet... that could save a bit of change... and is it a smart idea to bore out a honda motor? My dad bore's out motors all the time, but he usualy builds tube frame dragsters.

RE: Easy horse Power
Stock bore is 85mm, I want to say I've seen 87mm, but don't hold me to it. Maybe hold BlkCurrantKord to it, lol:

LOL ok...lots of mis information here..
The H22 crank, rods, pistons will all fit and work, but really only worth it if you're keeping it N/A. You will not be able to turbocharge this kind of setup. You could probably get away with boring out the F22 cylinders to 87mm. You can also just use the H22 crank and rods (oem or aftermarket, preferable aftermarket) and some forged F22 pistons.
Here's something you should realize though, the H22 has a 90mm stroke while your F22 has a 95mm stroke. So by putting the H22 crank in there you'll be losing torque but gaining a better revving bottom end. Combine that with a bisimoto valvetrain and you've got a sick little setup. Buy bisimoto's F22 race header on his site and your set for N/A happiness.

RE: Easy horse Power
Maybe... it was a thought... so the only internal difference (besides parts) between the two is the F22 is taller (bigger stroke) and the H22 has a bigger bore... oh well maybe i will hold him to it. thanks a million...
