i had some problems with the H22a8... and swaped it for a H22a2.. i picked it up £200 with 45onda clock and i still have my H22a8 which had 115miles! i was thinking is there any point of rebuilding the h22a8 or shall i just keep the H22a2.

and what is the difference between the both engines! i think the H22a2 is 185Bhp and my H22a8 was 200BHP! can i get the H22a2 to 200BHP! any suggestions would help!

thanks ppl! del.

Rebuild the H22a8, it has higher comp pistons, higher lift cams and lower seated valves and stronger springs, port polish and if you get a piggy back ECU or Type S ECU you can unlock the 217bhp.

yes very true! but just this morning a local geezer had a accord type r and he an accident and he was asking me if i wanted the engine.. the h22a7.. very tempted.. but its 117miles FSH and recent belt changes and service! his asking 850punds for the engine! reali don't no what to do! lolz.. rebuild the h22a8 or get the h22a7.. got allot of thinking to do!

i really can't tell the difference from the both engines..! the h22a2 very responsive at 3000revs.. surprising! lol..

I think a sticky telling us what engine has what and what ECU will run it perfectly would be a very valuble thing if we dont have one already. If we have Im sorry but I cant find it. Maybe a how to use the search facility would be good too Laughing

The H22a7 is exactly the same as the H22a8 apart from the intake manifold. THe one on the H22a7 is a single runner and the h22a8 is dual runners.

IMO get the H22a7.
