What makes you choose between those 2. You do realize there is a sticky right at the top of the page explaining alllllll the swaps for a civic, or most of them at least. It might help you with your swap decision, and avoid a flame session that might begin soon.

been searchin from what I can tell the GSR swap sounds like an easier more instant gratification way to go though a bit more expensive initially whereas the lude motor has higher potential at the cost of more work. Just lookin for some input

question 2 been lookin on the net and can't find many kits, just individual parts. What kits I do find are retardedly cheap and I doubt offer much in the book of performance. Anyone have some good sites to look at?

If you can afford the h22 and very good suspension set up for it go for it. If you have just decent suspension or even stock go b18c.

In short if you got the money to blow, blow it on a h22.

Since choosing which motor you want is such a dramatic event in your life, maybe just start riding your bike?

Pick an objective for your car, and then buy the motor that best suits that objective and/or budget. And if that concept proves to be too much for you (such as having to post on HT to have other people make up your mind for you), then you are probably better off riding a bike and toiling over "OMFG 18 or 21 speed!!1ononeeen, maybe I'll post on HT to ask which one to get!?"

Ill try to answer this. Ive driven both motors. The thing that made me decide was whether i wanted a stupid fast car (H22) or a fun car (b18). Me personally, i like the fun car, so i chose b18.

and if u ever wanna kick it up a notch and turbo your swap the b18 can handle more psi w/out resleeving. i love the b18s because they are a simpliar and cheaper swap and u have parts galore but the h22 is nice if u have the money and i mean really have the money, like way more than enough cuz it will cost as much as if not more than an itr after install.
