Man, you guys sure like to be negative. Go read up on what a stock H22 normally pulls on the dyno and then talk.
Ok, I've done some of the reading. Here's what I found:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"was looking at stock mostly stock h22a dyno charts, motors ranging from 1994-99, and they were putting out all different kinda of numbers like anywhere from 155whp to 185 whp..."
"my 92/93 h22a put down 176 hp and 152 ft/lbs with high miles egr system not working, with an intake and exhaust only"

Personally, it seems with a 197hp (assuming most swaps are getting JDM motors) starting point. I'd expect it to bump to somewhere around 220 at the crank after intake, header, exhaust, + basic mods (not positive what all he had done as I was a bit busy that day). Take off a 15% drivetrain loss from there and you've got 187 (assuming my poor math skills are up to par).
Not that it's not an improvement over stock but that it should be pretty much what's expected. Everyone's point I believe it that it was nothing shocking.
What did your latest install and dyno tune of that H22 yield?
Also, you have to remember that you're on a DSM site here. So most of us do the mental math on the cost of the swap, exhaust work, etc and realize that we can make much better numbers on DSMs.
Just another way to look at it from most of our perspectives. Take it for what you will.
