Default H22 swap.

Hey, I was researching swaps, and plan to swap in a B16A Sir motor into my 94 EX, and I did some research on B's H's F's K's and Turbo D's, and I was leaning towards the H22, but then was thinking about the B16, because it is in the same price range. But you cant just drop the H in my 94 EX, and you can buy a complete swap for around 2grand from Hmotors (+ or - a few hundred).

I am starting to lean towards the 2.2 again, only because of my future plans for the car tho. The thing is I dont think I will ever get around to puting a turbo on my D, so I wanted to swap in a B, and then maybe turbo that in a few years, but then I have a feeling that it will end up like my D, and never happen, and I will still have a 1.6, I have plans to beef up the suspension in my 93 EX befor I do any work under the hood, and my plans for whatever motor I swap are basicly the same as what I have done to my D: CAI, Header, Maybe Cams, ECU upgrade, Ignition upgrade. I prety much want to get all that I can out of a stock motor, and maybe port the head. But thats what I was thinkin of doing.

The car is a daily driver, and spends most of its days on the freeway. Like to go to pacific raceway once a year....

I had a 92 prelude, with the H23, and I loved the power of that. And it was all stock. Would my civic with a H22 handle much different than my stock 92 Prelude if I upgraded the suspension on my Civic?
