Re: Anyone ever done an H22 swap into a CRX?
no, I know it from this list posted on preludeonline.com 
and when the same thing occurs over and over, its a problem.. I know several who had their setup tuned well and it still failed...
Code:
HAS BLOWN A MOTOR 1. schwett 6psi, jrsc, jr ems/fmu, toasted lands on all 4 pistons 2. spinNlude 6psi, jrsc, put a piston through the head 3. geramy 6psi, jrsc, blew rings (lands?) (previous owner ran NOS) 4. kaos_prelude_sh 6psi, jrsc, blew ring lands on one piston 5. tmontana 6psi, jrsc, ? (had to smoke a supra, too much timing?) 6. c-redrum 6psi, jrsc, jr ems/fmu, bearing and ring lands. 7. 99Prelude_LC 6psi, jrsc 8. LJR-lude01 6psi, jrsc 9. achemze 10psi, turbo, "bad a/f ratio" 10. quaalude 8psi, turbo, 5 bent exh valves (exacerbated by earlier mis-shift) 11. Turbo Lude SH6psi, turbo, fmu, vfac, blew ring lands on #4 12. silverludesi 7/10psi, turbo, hondata, blew ring lands on #1 13. 00g ?psi, turbo, ? 14. clendaniel 10psi, turbo, ring lands (twice) 15. Blaast 7-9psi, turbo, 8:1 FMU + 550's, 15psi boost spike waves bye-bye to all 4 pistons 16. bradboy 9psi, turbo, ring lands on 3 pistons (jdm h22) 17. kidkutz ?psi, turbo, one ring land 18. trboh22 12psi, turbo, DFI (bad engine buildup) 19. quiklude 8psi, turbo, ringl ands on 2 pistons 20. superlude01 10psi, turbo, ringlands 21. lude4life ?psi, greddy turbo, disconnected wastegate / boost spike 22. y_b_lamron 6psi, turbo, blew a ringland 23. ludespeed2000 ?psi, turbo, ?

there are just as many who are still doing fine....there is a guy on honda-tech.com who runs 10 psi i believe daily for 2 years now....he took his entire motor appart and there was not a single thing wrong......if you do everything right, spend money where it is supposed to be spent and realize when something isnt going right with your set up, then your application will not fail

ive seen some good setups, you need a good suspension, and some good tires. If I were you Id go with an h22 if you want something a little different, or you could just go with a gsr, and the car would still be quick as shit.

Re: Anyone ever done an H22 swap into a CRX?
I'v had my h22 turbo'ed for over a year now running 7lbs and no problems with pistons.
if you get a 92-95 h22 you don't need to sleeve it. the 95 and up have a weird composit sleeve that will not contract and expand at the same rate as forged pistons. this info came directly from wisco. stock piston lands are a little weak. and have been known to give out. alot of this does have to do with tuning.
go with the h22 buy pistons, rods ect. and boost it.

actually h22's on stock blocks have been known to handle up to 12 psi with good tuning on a standalone

Re: Anyone ever done an H22 swap into a CRX?
your a moron. the h22 is around 40 lbs heavier than a b16 or b18
Keepin it Klean is right. I hate how people don't do research just because the motor looks heavy. They think it throws off the weight ratio. It's not that much heavier than the other B series motors.
