I am very curious to know how these two engines
compare to one another in STOCK fashion.
Does anyone have experiences w/ both?
Which is easier to work on?
Which is more reliable?
Etc...
Thanks

 

b18 has way more aftermarket options.

h22 has way more torque

both pretty reliable, though they say that the internals of the b series are better for FI, etc etc (which i don't necessarily believe)

H series is heavier

 

i've heard that Honda made the h22 stronger and more reliable

 

you're comparing a high strung engine that isn't good at moving much weight, although performance oriented to a motor designed to move more weight and be performance oriented.....the tegs are about 500 lbs less than are the ludes/accords....and even though the b18c5 has only 5 less peak hp, it just wouldn't move a lude like the h22a does......even the torque numbers don't differ by much, but where it makes the power is what matters......the b18c5 is worked over more as far as porting and polishing, lighter aluminum block, way better aftermarket.....h22a does have tons of support, but when compared with b series, it's just not as much...stock, the h22a can handle 5-7psi and still be very reliable......i think the b18c can take a little more, but still, "either or" in that category....

 

actually tegs only weigh 350 lbs less than a lude.

 

ONLY?

And actually it's 375lbs. Have you ever tried to move 375lbs.? That's a lot of weight, dude.

 

hehe but 375 is a lot less than 500lbs :P

i'm not saying it's negligible, but i think all of us think dc2's are alot lighter than they really are.

 

also, are we talking b18c5 or b18c1?

375lbs. is like carting two 187lbs., NFL running backs around at all times.

While the GSR isn't nearly as light as the ITR, it's still considerbly less then the gen. V Prelude.
