which one would you put in a street CRX? b16 turbo, b20 vtec turbo or H22 turbo? if money wasnt realy a factor, not including the K20 or K24 in this?

im looking in to boosting a b20 but just wanting peoples views

i didnt see my pic in the list man lol the b18c1 is what i did in my 89 crx

taylormade

well iv got a b16 in the car atm and the plan was to build a b20 out of it,
but h22 would be an intressing project just looking for views but i think h22 would be too much work

taylormade

sanman000719

lol the money I have put out hurts to much to mention lol.

h2b hmmm have read god things about them, but havent seen to many on the track getting it done yet.

what does putting a h22 in a crx do to the handling?

LGK-VW

Good for going straight fast but not so great for turning. I drove one a long time ago and you notice it up there for sure. But thats not always a bad thing.

I wouldnt go H2b if i was gonna turbo the car. The gearing is too short IMO. My H on motor with a stock JDM LSD tranny was at 7000 in 3rd as i crossed the line in an 8th mile. That was with an unchipped P28 limiter set at 7200. I would probably be in 4th gear before i even finished the 8th with an H2b on the stock rev limiter.

My vote is a built H tho.

I dont think it matters what engine you have. I see all engine making good power nowadays. I have a built F22a turbo H2B i am about to put in my car. But i see virtara D16 making big power on a budgets. i think if i could start all over from day one i would go
D16. I also see stock B16 cars making more power than b18c engines. I think it more about tuning and the correct parts.I would think 300 whp on a stock internal car would be fun to drive daily

I made a thread about this build delete this thread and follow mines

thanks guy after more research im going to go with b16 for afew reasons
1, iv already got the engine in the car so will not have to buy one
2, its my first turbo honda and there is more info on a b16 turbo
3, for a b20 or h22 there is abit of messing about that i wont get with the b16
4, it will have better handling than the other too
5, it will be cheaper aswell

Are team has a rex with an H22 not boosted yet but wll let you know the tranny still slugish though. My other friend has ef hatch ls vtec thatz faster wen they run all motor, and yes the H22 is more pwr but im pretty sure these motors respond different in these lightweight cars. Oh the heavy H in the rex drives like crap too were still wrkn on suspension but I dont know! If i had a rex! B serious turbo be my personal opinion.

sanman000719

you keep mentioning handeling im guessing this is for autocross?

taylormade

no street car/ track, but i had a corsa that i put a 2.0 turbo into and the handeling was not good compared to standard with the wieght in it

i like a car to have good handeling aswell as speed

accord_raffi

I would say use whichever has a better volumetric flow at the head.

sanman000719

man i have beat a stock b18c1 in my 89 crx on stock suspension for a year, and I had no issues at all hell I didnt even really notice a differance untill I was WOT lol but 500hp will do that.

I dont have an issue at all, but thate because I followed the advise of my shop and I quote " AXLES WILL LAST ON A STRAIGHT AWAY, BUT DO NO BOOST IN CORNORS" so this could be why I didnt have alot of chassy issues at all.

b16 for a street car, less tq = more traction
