Like you said in other posts it just depends what kind of power levels you want as to the price of them. I've seen people piece together kits for themselves for very reasonable prices.

your right on the part of piecing a kit togather cheaper it still costes lots of money

I have an H22A, the K20 is a superior engine in every way. Both technologically and with aftermarket support. The K24 is 'okay' though, and people usually only want its bottom end to increase the displacement on the K20.

Anyone telling you to swap a B-series or H-series should be shot cause they obviously know NOTHING about honda's, or cars in general. If you want to go big power, swap in the k24 block and keep the K20a2 head from you type S...its almost just as good flowing head as the K20a head found on the type R's. If you doin't know what I'm talking about, start reading HERE

you obviously didn't read the thread... we're talking a better hp/dollar ratio

You obviously don't know much about swaps. You find a mount kit for a H/B series into an RSX and let me know what it costs. Plus, you're downgrading and making less horsepower.

Fact of the matter is, it'd be absolutely moronic to swap any motor into an RSX, especially a previous generation. You'd be looking at MORE money and LESS power. This = poor hp/dollar ratio

Not off the line but I'm quite sure it could kill it in a roll.

$5 on the RSX

[Guest]

i guess my car is slow i cant beat anything pretty soon gd will say he can beat me

[Bryce]

Word on the street is that GraveDigger said he could beat you.

He does have 2 more cylinders!

[Guest]

i guess i have the slowest car on the street

[AcesHigh]

I would actually say that RSX-S and Prelude VTEC are evenly matched. Although the K20 features both variable valve timing and cam phasing, the H22A does make up for that in sheer displacement. Two litres against two point two litres, both having two hundred horses. Although the fourth gen Prelude handles well, I'd be willing to guess that an RSX handles better. The H22A is a heavier block that causes all the weight to be distributed in the front.

[AcesHigh]

Yeah, you do have the slowest car on the street. About every fourth gen Prelude out there has an H22A, its nothing uncommon anymore.

[Guest]

the preludes clame to fame was it handleing so i dont think that a rsx will handle better its also a bigger car

[Bryce]

I know mine does.

huh wut handles better?

It was a joke that did not pan out, about me owning a h22 prelude.

We should look up stock 1/4 mile times for the RSX and a H22 4g.

Try Autocrossing with your oversteering H22A tank and say that it handles better than an RSX. In its time the Prelude was an above average handler for something that is FWD, but times have changed.
