302Powered Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I like the B18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conesmasher Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 If you think that the H22 will allow you to do the things you want at a lesser cost, then do it. Your motor has alot of cababilities, followed by a huge aftermarket following. I don't know what you would gain by doing an H22 that you can't spend on that GSR motor to do the same or better. But I am biased of course. But I say, what's the point of doing a motor to gain more torque when all you do is spin the wheels accelerating anyways.

SHIEF Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 H22 > B18, yes I'm bias, but after riding/driving in both, with supercharger, and with turbo, the H22 is just a better motor. If I ever did another swapped honda (which I prob won't), I know which motor I'd choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like I said if it's worth it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1647545497 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 B18 all the way, the aftermarket support just isnt there like it is for the B series, If you want to build the H22 its going to run you more than what it would if it was a B18, preludes are alot heavier than a hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ITR Guy Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 i say stick with what you got. the b18 is a really good engine. you would be surprised how much this engine can do power wise. plus its already in and you would have to take all the time and money to replace and swap when you could prob just get around the same improvements out of the b series motor.

slow4now Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Stick with the B18C, it's one of the best small-displacement motors ever designed. There is a reason that both the Integra Type-R and Civic Type R have B-series power plants.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
