H22A2 to H22A?

Post by chrismc » Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:14 pm

Is this a worthwhile mod- swapping out an A2 for a JDM H22A?

The A2 is listed as 183HP whereas the A is ~197?

Be interested to hear from anyone who has experience of both & real-world differences...

In an ideal world an A7 or A8 would be great but they still seem to be holding their money!

In the real world I don't think there would be enough of a gain to justify the effort.

Fair do's

The original engine is absolutely fine aside from liking a drop of oil- goes well enough!

Long term we shall probably bite the bullet & go for an A7
