Seriously man, there is no such thing as a 2.2L Civic. The only 2.2L Vtec engine Honda makes now is for the S2K; most likely its a H22 Prelude swap.

Motonikki812, just because a 4 cylinder car is naturally aspirated, doesn't imply it's slower than a JCW. I know a couple of lightly modded 2.0 i-vtec Acura RSX-S owners that have beat JCW Minis.

Does it really matter? What it comes down to is this is plane and simply bench racing and the drivers can make all the difference in the world. The other's are right, Honda never made a 2.2L Civic and the only 2.2L motor that can be swapped into one would be the H22 out of a Prelude. If that's the case, with the modifications you listed, he has about 25hp on you.
