man...
Ive about had it with your "knowledge"....or complete lack thereof, I mean.
You do NOT know what youre talking about 3/4 of the time. Don't mislead people into a false sense of....anything.

Fairly new?
The h22's have been around since 1992. Now I dont really concider that a new motor. If we're saying that a 12yr old engine design is new then D16z6's are also new, as well as D16a6's...theyre only 13, afterall. K's, now those are new. But I'll go and say that the b18c spec r is "fairly new" as its only been around since 1997.

Expensive?
H22's can be purchased from local yards (complete) for around $1800 and $2200 from REPUTABLE online engine distributors - ie hmo. Now, getting it into the car will be the expensive part, for those that dont know what their doing and will have to have a shop do all the work. The general consensus is around another $1k for the install. Doesnt sound like thats much more (actually thats less) than a b18c5...and it has more torque.

Its a Joke?
No, its called serious. H22 civics/del sols are fast as hell. Theyre not THAT much heavier than a Bseries either. With stiffer spring rates up front (custom ones can be purchased through eibach) it will handle fine.

Now, I will agree that it doesnt leave much room in the bay...its a 2.2L engine. But, you could say the same thing for a turbo B series w/ a race design exhaust manifold, dual core radiator, ignition add-on, etc.

(Im not even going to get into turbo h's..)

Now, I personally think that an H into a civic is too much work for my time, but Im extremely lazy.
