compression is good, but now the rear seal pushed out, so it is leaking really bad, so i have to put a hold on the turbo, and drop it off at honda.

 

idk dude..sounds like that engine might be goin out. fixing seals and compression is getting into the price of a lightly used H22 WITH forged pistons. So think much before dumping money into a 15 year old engine. I'm not saying it isn't worth it. All I'm saying is weigh the options. hastle free for a little more? Or constant tweaking and tuning to save a bit of cash?

Which is most important? Reliability or Cost?

 

yeah, i am just going to get the H22, because the transmission is starting to slip, and i found a JDM H22 package, with engine, transmission, axles, and harness for 2K.

 

then go for it... 2k is a good price for that package

 

lol

 

Where did you see this JDM H22 Package for 2k? 4th or 5th generation? The 5th generation JDM h23a doesn't look so bad either.
