" In an eight mile this engine would run 8.90s on street tires-all motor."

What does that roughly translate into for 1/4 mile?

Whatever it is, it's slow. okay, looked it up.. about 14+...
I wish I would have seen that auction sooner, I would have freakin' bought that.. just to have something to mess around with...

looking at really dirty engines seriously makes me nautious

8.90 is a very respectable time for an 1/8 mile. Most V-8s will not run that stock.
For future referance anything under ~9.3 is respectable, not fast but will surprise you.

I know, I know 1/8 mile tracks are no fun but the nearest 1/4 is 2.5 hrs away

my friends cvic with a stock h22 in it runs 8's in the 1/8

Silverhks · 11-29-2005, 01:57 AM

what year was it and did the h22 come in the civic?

the H series was a Prelude/Accord engine only if I recall (I am a recovering Rice-o-holic myself!) Without beefed up front suspension, it was too heavy and negatively affected the handling of the civic.
