b16a2 or h22a in 93 civic ex
i am swaping my motor later in the summer, but i dont know what would be the best motor. a company that sells both with a complete swap for the same price, so now that money isnt an issue i can just chose. the h22a it at 200hp while the b16a2 is at 168hp. but someone told me that the h22 wouldnt be good in my 93 ex because it leans up right, while the b16a2 leans forward more. also that i would have to do alot of mods to make that h22 fit, while the b16a2 mounts right up. i will also be putting on a turbo kit, so what motor would be better for it,.if anyone can answer any of these questions, thanks alot...........

between the two I'd go with the B16. the H22 is not a simple straight forward swap, it requires expensive mounts and cutting a hole in the fire wall for the shift cables. Not to mention axle problems.
IMO if you want to go turbo, pick up an LS (B18B), more torque. Should be about the same money if not a little less. and it mounts right into your EG just as easily as the B16.
