the B18c1 or the H22 the H22 is appealing becuase its cheap as **** but people seem to have problems with axles and i heard that the ringlandings can't handle that much boost. I've seen more b18's turbo than H22 but the H22 in a hatch would be faster off the bat so would it also be faster with a rev hard kit than a b18c1 with a rev hard kit

 

I would say go with the B18c for simplicity reasons....more readily available aftermarket support.

 

so i got one reply sofar

 

H22 suck there side walls are made some kind of material that cant take boost all that well. my friend put a set of aftermarket pistons in his it destoryed the side walls now its getting sleeved. h22 is also more heavier than the b series, but by far there are far more bseries parts than h22 parts. i could go on forever how great a b series is and how abundant parts are for them but you make your own judgement.

Side Walls.......and what kind of material is that.
Well my friend has one and his hasn't bother him one bit. Been boostin for about 6 months. I would say b but if you can afford h I would say H

 

if the engine is stock ill go with a B but if bulit ill get a H block any day

 

the cylinder walls of the H22 is made differently than the b series. This factor has nothing to do with boost, but it does with forged pistons...so if you are planning on running a stock bottom end you shouldn't care at all. If you are going to build the bottom end, you will have to sleeve the h22.

personally, i would build up a b18c over a h22 anyday.

 

i say h22.bigger is better.i have a customer that makes 290whp@3200rpm in his stock h22 with t3.

 

Watch out for those H series oilpumps.

Any motor can be made to go quick...pick your poison.

 

I would go B series without a doubt. H series bottom ends aren't as strong stock for stock... and then if you wanna make big power, notice how many fast big power hondas run an H series and how many run a B series. Almost all run a B series. Just my $.02
