You obviously know nothing about the H22. First off, its a 2.2 liter, second in stock form it has a higher torque output then the KA. On top of that this particular example is boosted.

It's different, looks fairly well done (besides the jb weld and aluminum foil), and most importantly its boosted. Honda hating is lame.

Can't say that I agree with the graphics on the car, but other then that it seems pretty neat.

Agreed as well..

Most of the honda hating is because they dont understand the ****.. Once you expand your knownledge outside the nissan universe and realise their are other cars out there besides the 240 and you dont have to be such a huge fanboy, you'll have more respect for your own car, along with everyone elses car.

IMO, I love Ludes and Tegs. I just like how the look and drive. And if i had a chance to own another car, one of those 2 would be it.

Hi guys

I'm from France and I know this guy.

This work is awesome !!

In France we have s14 with sr20det and s13 with ca18det...

CA18DET it's a real problem because it's a good engine (torque/horsepower) but always broken...

So this guy after 2 ca18det broken decide to move for his indestructible Honda engine.

Myself I was started by honda... never have a problem... after 2 nissan a s13 ca18det and a s14 sr20det... I forged a sr20det to be sure about fiability...

I think d series, b series, h series are very strong so I understand his choice.

This guy have a garage and many of his customer are honda fan so it's easy for him I think to found honda parts... and in France all our s14 have sr20det but it's an expensive engine... so...

I just want to say... not conventional but good job bro !!

ps: sorry about my english, I'm just moving in Miami and I'm learning^^

I've always seen KA vs H22 torque listed about the same, but the H22 has much more HP & of course, V-Tech...

Wow very well done. And agree with the whole honda hating is geting lame thing. Whats wrong with Hondas? I had an integra and it was great.

I guess is just too many Fast Furious wannabes driving thier civics and reving randomly at stop lights.

we should be hating them stupid drivers with billion stickers, giantic functionless gauges on their cars and want to race anything and everything tat moves. P.s. dont forget the cut spring, zip tied body kit, and them weird sounding exhaust system.

I just am a loss for words right now. I'm trying to rack my brain around this and I don't care how good of job it is, its just disappointing, and a waste of money and skill. Doesn't matter how expensive the engine is, putting all that work and $$ into fabbing and working out what would be needed to make it fit and he could have had an sr20 or whatever else, or could have had a rocking honda. I just... I just... I can't think right now, I'm going to call my therapist. I'll give him points for making it happen just... just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Not saying don't think out side the box, but this is like setting the box on fire and having sex with the ashes. It's just plain wrongI think I'm going to go lay down now, you people made my head hurt.

neither does a honda powered nissan, I really don't care if it wasn't a sr, that's not all that special since it came stock overseas. seriously I think its a waste, over 200HP? ok, with a fractions of the time and money it could have been done. Or for the same amount gone to 300hp, I'm not sure if it's just me but, the vid looks like its in slow motion. not to say that drift cars needs sh*tload of HP and need to be traveling 80mph around the track sideways. it just looks slow.

Also noticed that the rear wheels on the two of those cars are tiny compared to the front. I know as a track beater, mis matched wheels don't matter. with a full set of nice wheel like those have, why put smaller ones on the back? to save money? or because the engine cannot easily produce the torque to break traction as easy with the big wheels? I can put geo metro wheel on my bone stock 240 and drift everywhere i wanted to anytime.

I think its a cool swap because of the difficulty of what he did, and whoever bashed the LSx swap into the S chassis is a screwing retard.

I guess it goes 50/50 with that car. Think its great or hate it with a passion. I'm trying to see it as you guys do that like it. I just don't, I don't like it, I will give him props for going through all that hassle to make it come to life. I just don't think it was worth it. I guess with this I'm asking "why?" while the owner asked "why not?"

i love the h22 motor.. but imo i wouldve stuck with the f20c motor with the transmission.. but yea, i raced my friend in his 97 prelude with H/I/E. pretty good race until he gets to 3rd gear than vtec kicks in. by then hes gone. while my car is bone stock.

Having the exhaust on the other side is VERY beneficial to those who like to do steering modifications to their nissan

not to mention getting more weight to the right side of the car

Not bad, I like the amount of fabrication involved. Looks like it performs ok in the drift video too.
