you CANNOT do a swap for $1300 (unless you stay d-series which makes no sense). i see no way that is possible. also, with the h22, you need to do A LOT of research. the h22 is a lot heavier than any b-series (thus its heightened power) so you'll probably have to do suspension work as well. it sounds like you're on a budget, so my advice is to go with the b18b1 (94-01 ls integra). this will probably be the cheapest motor you can get. b18c (gsr) will be about a grand more, b16 (civic si) will be more as well. no, its not as powerful, but it has a lot of potential. you could put a vtec head on, go turbo, etc. id guess you could do the b18b swap for under 2grand if you look around and plan everything correctly. mine cost about $3500, but that included suspension (kyb ags +eibach pro kit), a BUILT b18b (eagle rods, arias pistons, 3 angle valve job, stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel, and a bunch of other shit). if youre not on a budget and you love projects like this, H22 BABY!!!
