I think with the work you've had done on the engine and the figures you have it would be a waste to start again from scratch plus that engine in a teg will be hard to match bhp and especially lbs/ft by any b18c6
I hit the limiter in my h23 vtec still didn't kick in

Sorry to see your accident Alex, never a nice situation to be in. :(

But looks like you're keeping your head up and looking for ideas on something new, fair play. Most of us are thinking, no stick with a lude, but you can't go wrong with a Teg either, especially a modified H22'd Teg. Phil mentioned a couple of pages back about a pdf of the Honda Swaps book - I have it, PM me your email address and I'll ping it over. It's an old book now and doesn't (as far as I remember) include the H2B swaps only standard H22 swaps, but a good read all the same. :D

Good luck with your plans though. 8)


can i have a copy too please rob, you got my email from my paypal if you wouldn't mind. :)

Thanks benny.

It sucks, but could be a blessing in disguise. The rear arches were going to need some serious attention in the next year or two. ATM the H22 will be living on in a JDM DC2 :twisted: Should be fun taking 300kgs off the kerb weight of the lude with the same motor
