- Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:24 pm #52810 from what i understand the H22A is a pretty good motor.. they consider it to be Honda's "big block"... im not sure on the gas mileage though.

Having "Cams" and "pulleys" IMO makes the car not stock.

Anyways the Cams control how long your intake and exhaust valves stay open. Sounds like you have AEM Cams. As for the pullys they are probally low restance pullys containing your belts.

- Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:57 am #52825 so it just has stock CAMS with after market pulleys and CAM GEARS

with IHE its not really going to make that much of a difference but with the right equipment it can make decent power

the car stock it self makes 200hp to the fly wheel

could always get Type S cams from JDM prelude and slap them in there with Type S springs and retainers

We find three kittens and a squirrel cowering in fear inside one of the massive front air intakes.

- Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:30 pm #52919 yeah stock meaning nothing special , just cam GEARS and pulleys i think 4 of the and the belt pulley, so theydont really do anything ? ok

- Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:47 pm #52921 AEM power pulleys or what ever they are called makes a few hp by taking weight off the alternator belt and ac belt etc... i dunno if you'll notice it drive a bone stock one and then drive yours and see if you can see the difference

- Tue Apr 29, 2008 4:18 am #53008 google is your FRIEND,

or any site that sells swaps is,

its pretty stupid to just buy a car without knowing weather the engine is good or not, do research next time so you don't make a stupid mistake.

info on engine:

.2 Liter DOHC VTEC Engine hydro operated tranny 200hp/161tq/10.6 Compression Ratio

dude no really ?? i know how to buy cars and my question isisnt WHAT it is , is if theres any common problems with the cars, like our eg's have the main relay and bunch of other problems !!! thanks for being nice

and ive never had a problem with a main relay on my eg.

you asked what the hp was, and that was part of my answer, READ better next time noob. And if you were so concerned about problems with the car that you needed to post it, why would you buy it prior to knowing.
