Sup guys, So right now I have a Boosted D series in my Del Sol.. And it's pretty fun, But im getting ready to start a high performance class and I am going to be building a motor. I'm going to buy a new motor (H22A or B16A) And build it for boost. I know what the B16A's can do, But I really want to buy and build a H22A. I've heard that the H22A bottom ends are weak... and so on. I'm pretty sold on the H22A and will be Adding Pistons, Rods... And so on.

So basically what i need from you guys is your input.. I don't really know a whole lot about H22A motors.. So let me hear it guys. What motor would you guys go with? And why?

Thanks in Advance!

 

F22 vtec, my reason is because its like a giant z6. And I think that they sound bitchen when they are done rite. Ive seen them make 300whp on stock bottom end, with just some head studs and boost!!!

 

Between your 2 selections, I'd take the b16. But if you want a budget motor for boost, I'd take the F22! That head flows really well for boost & there are a few builds that lead the way on here

 

b20 can't beat the torque!

 

b18c1 just cant be beat as you can see from the top dawgs in this sport, and have been proven to make 500+ on stock everything

but i chose b16a because you dont have to spend the cash to go h2b

 

I got a b20 in my hatch and lovin it. I have a friend that has a b16 ( not sure what type ) but he tune it and was redlining a 9k and ran 14's on a non turbo motor and now he pulled it out to build it from bottom to top and plans on running more the 30psi.
But here is a site that tells you some more about the b16 and h22, the h22 weighs 200 pounds more then your normal motor so you will have to spend a little extra in stiffing up the suspension.

B series all the way, I know the K's are doing big things for the hondas but the B's are affordable and put the power down nice, with tons of support.

 

why no b18 options?

 

go for the b16a2. that what i got. and people seem to love it espescially when its boost.

 

I'd suggest an OBD 1 H22 and get the LSD trans ( M2B4). We put a peak boost kit on a friend's in his accord it makes 470 whp and 350 ft. lbs. (E85) Motor has head studs and a cometic head gasket.

 

How about b16 and h22 together H2B?

 

Yessiree

 

H22a1!! You will have torque power and rev and it's not as heavy as some say, I have and h22 in a hacht its great!! Turbo you will have unlimited power

 

i had a H22 before but now have a b16...the h22 is going to give you headaches and cost more to swap in than a b16...you need custom engine harness, mounts, custom axles, the cable shift linkage...its just a hassle man...even after you get all that and you wanna boost then you have to get sleeves, and machining work just to be able to boost more than 5lbs...when i had my h22 hatch it was nice and strong...but going N/A cost alot more money then turbo and thats why i went to b series

 

Stock cams and crank 25psi SC61 630 whp 558 ft. lbs of torque the numbers speak for themselves..........

 

im a noob. whats an H2B?

 

its an adapter plate that sandwiches between a H block and either a D or B series trans.

 

neither. f23a engine. it already has low comp; cost less and has a strong block. I think the cylinders are iron with a beefy girdle. ok lets see here... 1.6, 2.2, or 2.3? Why h2b? Its not all motor so longer gears would be key in a turbo build....right? (just my 2 cents)

 

so an h2b is just an h series motor with a b or d series trans on it?

 

H22>B16

 

yea

 

A PROPERLY BUILT H22 ON BOOST BADDASSSSSSSSS

 

get a h23 block, h22 head, and a b series tranny!!

 

how much whp are you lookin to get? I would go with beastly boosted h22 for all out drag, or boosted b16 for autox/DD

 

yea srry but ur way off on the weights of theses motors. it been beat to death on threads comparing the h22 weight to the b16.. ENJOY
