I found an H22a motor and tranny for sale. The clutch and flywheel need to be replaced, but everything else is there.

The Engine has been turbo'd I'm the block has issues as why its all in peices. Even then 650 isn't a bad asking price. Pick up a F22 block or F23 block out of the junkyard and you have pretty much everything else minus an extra oil line to make a "G22"/"G23" Basically same thing as a LS/Vtec but with more Torque.

I would pick it up myself as I have been tempted to do that engine build. however if you have not done any engine work it might be a big project for someone starting out.

seems like it would be a great base for a build. if you have the money it would be good to just build an all motor beast, but also you need the mounts, axles, headers... stuff like that. $500 is pretty cheap as jdm h22's go

I haven't done any major engine work, i've mainly just assembled a block and done several head gaskets but I'm lookin for a project :lol: Hopefully I can get it. I've wanted a JDM H22 :D . Is it advised to go with the H22 tranny?

Yeah I read up on that. It doesn't seem very hard, my problem with the H2B or H2d kits is that they're $800. It just doesn't seem worth it. I mean I already have an D-series Si tranny, but I've heard that H-series have about the same gear ratios? But I don't know how I would like the cable tranny though...

not sure on the gear ratio
but im not a big fan of cutting into my car for a trans
thats why when i plan on doin this im doin the h2d

he was saying aomething about it bein worth it.. not 100% sure what he said its been months

I actually talked to him about it, he was gonna sell it to me, but I didn't think it was worth it. I'm still on the fence about H2d vs. just using the H22 tranny. The main thing is I want a project motor to build over winter. Hopefully I can get this, and hopefully its not something that's missing a bunch of parts or the block is all screwed up.
