The H series

the h22 is a good platform as well to work on for your EG. the advantage is that its a torquier motor than the B-series. but for some they like the high revving B-motors. disadvantage on the H22 setup is the H22 tranny. its not as close geared as the gsr or ITR trannies.
AND ITS f**kin' HEAVY.....(im an H-hater) 
the h22a swap is obslete. if you have the time and money for it, save up a bit more and get a k series- you get the best of both worlds- the weight of a b, close gearing, more displacment than a h22a (with a k24 block), and a motor with more potential and capability than either.
woah.. obsolete? I dont think so. There's a huge following of H-series right now, at least for the hardcore racers. More and more street and race cars are using the H-series for all motor applications. The H-series is a good platform that can make an easy 300hp and prices arent bad for H blocks and heads.
RIght now, we are doing 3 H-street/race motors. high compression, custom aluminum rods, big bore sleeved blocks, square ported heads, and more. And i'm seeing more and more out there from other fellow engine builders.
There's a revival of the H-series with the new Transmission adapter plates that are coming out soon. The H to D tranny is being used now and the H to B tranny is coming out end of this year. It totally gives a new life to the H-series with better gearing than the stock H22 gears.

H to D tranny adapter? That's the first I've heard of such a thing. I don't mean to sound like a complete moron and ask stupid questions but do all D series trannys bolt up the same? would that mean I could slap an h22 into my 99 dx hatch (Currently D16Y7) using my existing transmission and a beefier clutch? and would that combination actually be better than using the prelude tranny?
I've been looking at an H22 swap with great lust for a few months now so this would open up a whole new box of ideas.

I guess it depends on what your looking to get out of your car. If you want a straght line machine go with th h22. I am running a h22 right now. This motor is perfect for drag. A lot of low end torque unlike b series powerplants. But, if you want to autocross or like taking fast corners the 2.2 ain't for you.
Well at this time the H to D/F to D trans adapter is only available for the EF 88-91 Civic/CRX. Applications for other chassis will be available in the future. An H to B adapter is also in the works.
Bungfu: That will be the point of the adapter plates, to be able to use the SOHC tranny and just have special engine mounts.
At this time, Bisi Ezerioah's All Motor 10 sec CRX is the only one using the F-D/H to D trans adapter. This adapter was actually made possible with his design. The adapter consists of the adapter plate, custom flywheel, and custom clutch set. Custom Mounts are also used to fit the EF chassis.
There are several race and street cars in the works planning on using this setup that are coming late this season.
Once the production units are completed, we will carry them on our site and you can get more info there.

Well with the H to B series adapter, that sounds like it'll make a pretty potent combo with the hp/tq #'s from the h22 and the gearing from lets say the ITR tranny. I guess i'd like to see a comparison, when possible, between a stock H22 w/tranny time slip and a stock H22 with the ITR tranny swap. but i'm guessing i'll have to wait some time for this.
