My h22a made 440wtq and 610whp on 28psi... with a 6265 precision with pump and meth
Rb's are in the general area of this... they are by no means torque monsters... if you think that your a tard...
With a 30r my RB made 412whp and 330wtq on 20psi 92 pump
With a 30R on my h22a (same exact turbo used) i made 480whp and 376wtq on 17psi 92 pump
both have built engines... both using bone stock cylinders heads... (no cams porting valvetrain etc)
Im not trying to put down the RB motors... i love my RB and the music it makes...
RB's can make insane power, but it takes more work in cylinder head modifications etc which most poeple dont do ( i didnt) to make power with them
The last H22 motor i built for a friend put down 750whp and 570wtq on C16 TO4Z turbo ( BB 67mm) on 35psi... thats pretty nasty... show me an RB20 or 25 thats doing that...
again before people switch gears and call me names for going to bat for a honda... im just being realistic ive built and messed with both and so far my H has taken the cake
Also, what Lip is that on your kouki?

So wait... are you suggesting that this guy should custom swap a H22 into his S14???
Thats a shyt ton of work for an H22...
I know its been done before but the practicality of it is not there.
Plus it would also add to the cost...
I was talking about as the OP had brought up putting a F22C or a RB25 in his S14.
I couldn't find an F22C swap online but I would only assume its much more than the F20C.
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that these Honda heads out flow the RB's.
But as far as $$ wise you can't beat the RB25.

Also this H22 you built for you friend what did you do to it internally?
I highly doubt thats stock and if it was how long did it last?
I'm sure a built RB could hit those #'s as well.
The H22a honda motor was out in 1992 same era as the RBs14_sport wrote:Dude, you know how many different variables you are talking about above?
For one, since you are big into Hondas who says that you're as good building RB motors as you are Honda motors?
You don't fit one piston right into a cylinder and you can rob hp, tq and 1/4 mile times.
You are comparing 20 yr old 6cyl motors to much much newer 4 cyl motors that flow better and have NEW TECHNOLOGY, years and years of research and white lab coats doing computer aided testing and modeling.
Thats like saying my 70yr old grandmother can't run a mile quicker then your 20 yr old nephew.
Nissan came out with a revolutionary VG30 Twin Turbo motor in a 300ZX back then and it did 300HP and was moping up all the competition and then ten years later they came out with the 350Z and it still does 300HP BUT N/A, without the need for turbo. Technology changes things drastically. Now look at the GTR 530HP stock in a V6 with twins. My Boy has a BONE STOCK RB26 block doing 750HP. RB30 Hybrids are Twisting 1/4 Tracks with 1000HP+ stock.
Basically, who cares what motor you think is better...you have your reasons.
Pick a motor you like, build it to the best of your ability, tune it properly and get as much out of it as you can and have fun!
btw, I have a C-West knockoff lip on my kouki

(Me)----- Again to put it out there, I totally agree that Hondas out Flow RB's no doubt. And yes and engine is an engine is and engine. My Argument was that to reach the OP's goal it would be cheaper to go the already beaten RB path. And not blaze his own trail of F22C. Which would also be the more expensive route w/o any hiccups.--------(Me)
