Re:intercooled 8psi or h22a motorswap?
 

well, let's see, it may not pull 13's in a prelude, but i think a del sol is just a little bit on the lighter side ::)

ya if you have the turbo already on and have over heating problems I would just upgrade the coolant system. Maybe even add an oil cooler?

H22 is a great swap into 5g civics but one problem arises. Understeer! The h22 I believe is about 100 lbs or so heavier, i personally didnt think it would make a world of difference, but... i was wrong. Straight line wow! but I'd take my inducted d16 anyday for a good road trip! ( I live in Vancouver so I have alot of mountain highway to choose from ). I have driven a civic w/h22 and a del sol w/turbo, and both have plenty of power. Not sure about the overheating thing either, so far as i know should be the same setup as a 5g civic, and as long as the coolant taps are all in good order should not have a problem as i have a similar set up in my civic. BUT! if u want a fast car H22 is definatly a good choice and if u added a turbo later its definately a fun car if u can live with a little bit of understeer.

just my 2c
