F22b
b18b

I found one of each locally, i have a 94 dx hatchback... I want one thats going to simple to install with good results ( Ive done b18 swaps but never a f22 )

I dont know what all ill need for the f22 ( it comes with tran, axel, ecu etc )



Thanks

throwin the b would be easier since its so commin... mostly needing mounts. for the f u need everythin mentioned probably more.

The B18B will definitely be easier, and likely cheaper. You would need the driver's side mount and bracket (part attached under the timing cover), axles, ECU, transmission, engine, and shiftlinkage from the B18B. The rest of the stuff would just be your stock Civic parts.

For the F22B, you'd need to buy an aftermarket mount kit that costs anywhere from $300-600 (depending on brand of the mounts). You'd also need to do some minor cutting for the shifter assembly and the shifter cables, as well as either completely remove or cut the transmission side mount bracket (the one spot welded to the frame). You would also have to do some wiring and either buy custom axles or make your own from a combo of different OE Honda ones. It's pretty much the same thing as the H22A swap, but with some different wiring involved (I believe just an EGR wire and an O2 sensor would be switched from the H22A wiring).

So b18?

Im going to rebuild the internals for boost before i put it in, but it comes with tranny axels ecu and everything

But i only need the two mounts the rest will bolt up?

Is tyhe b18b vtec or no i didnt even check if so i may just slap a b16 head on it and make a ls vtec idk

b18b is non-vtec. it sounds like you need to research a little more before you decide to start building the motor, considering you have no clue which engine is which.

I forgot to mention the rear mount bracket as well, from the B18B.

No reasearch needed, I actually start attending ASE academy then to the honda school in 2 months, im going to rebuild it over the course that iam there

That may be the most asanine statement ever recorded. First, ASE stands for "Ask Someone Else." Honda school will not teach you how to build a frankenstein motor with aftermarket parts. Building an engine is alot more involved than grabbing a wrench and tearing into it, parts need to work in conjunction with each other, it would be like buying a set of all motor cams for a high horsepower turbo motor, which could be an easy mistake for someone that is too stubborn to read up first.
