i looked at the site japan motor import and i found the b18c-5 but why are they so expencive i could buy the h22a motor and put 2grand into it for the price of the type-r motor

 

becasue its a Type R motor and has a bad ass final gear ratio thats why, its the same with the b16b its Type R

 

H22a will be much harder to put in.

 

ooo gotchya but i heard you cant do much cuz the compression is so high?which motor would i be better off with?

 

there is alot to do with both an h22 and b18c5 it just cost alot of money.......type r have been boosted just not easy or cheap

 

what are you guys talking about?...??? putting a B18C5 is a direct bolt on for most Civics. H22's just require a few custom motor mounts.

The B18C5 motor is a limited production run. B18C5's were only found in the US from 97-01. Finding a crashed B18C5 is rare hence the higher prices.

The H22 were not limited. They were found in all DOHC VTEC 92-01 Preludes. They were in normal productions...and easier to find with no high demands.

 

The H22 was also in some Accords.
I know that they were built here, but they may have been shipped to Japan for sales.

doood is right, the USDM B18C5 is harder to find. Supply/Demand.

The B18C JDM Type R is easier, but the wiring is a trick.

What do you plan to do with your build up?

 

ok well thats why i was debeting about the hatch cuz it will cost alot more to get it to maybe 13's or high 12's than i thought umm cann you guys help me out big time for best hp gains w/cheap price

 

b20b with turbo :rick: :naughty:

 

It's all about supply and demand...

H22's are a great 2nd choice though, I've seen quite a few H22 Hatches burn some FAST cars.
