Hey, guys. I'm new to this forum and honda swaps in general. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions for a swap. I'm driving a 94 Civic EX right now, stock engine. I know the H22A is heavy, but i liked the torque on it. I was also offered a B18C1 by one of my friends. I want to turbo eventually. Any thoughts? Mahalo (thanks) in advance!

 

H22's aren't heavy. About 30lbs more than a B series. If you're worried about the weight offset just relocate your battery to the trunk. B18c's are good motors and good for boost. The best bang to buck ratio would be a B18b for like 700$ and a turbo.

 

Once again with the sugestions, search around this is covered about once or twice a week, it always the same thing, b series most likely ur the gsr u where offered. Oh yea I almost forgot Welcome to HAN

 

Yeah, i should have figured this is probably an almost rhetorical post...lol. Thanks for the welcome...looks like a cool community here.

 

Good luck with ur swap then, this site is full of awnsers to all ur questions about swaps a b18 is one of the best platforms

 

what are the pros/cons of an h22A vs. a B18C/B?

 

If you plan on boosting it and making some good power, the B series has a lot more aftermarket support and will be easier to make good power on. The FRM sleeves of the H22 make running forged pistons impossible, so you would have to resleeve with iron sleeves if you want to make more than say 300 whp.

 

not anymore. mahle makes forged pistons compatible with the frm sleeves.
