I know this must be a stupid question, but how come the H22A swap is Much much cheaper than the B18C1 swap? Specially since the H22a offers much more power???Does this make sense?

Also: Anyone heard of noyanusa for engine swaps?

RS_91

who told you the H22 is cheaper?

b16 matt

because its better. b over h any day of the week.

RS_91

i bet you find b18 cheaper and h22 cheaper also, shop around.

Supply and demand. B-series are in more demand then H22A's.

I'm also guessing because overall it will cost more to do an H22 install. Mounts cost more, and more overall work to get the swap done properly..

vrrodri

everywhere I look there is a big difference in price between the two complete swaps with the B series being at least 1k more...
Check HMO and others...

it's cheaper because H series suck

[QUOTE]it's cheaper because H series suck

Well, that's just opinion. I personally like the B series swaps more than H22 swaps, but when done properly in a very light car they are beasts..

b18c is more in demand right now but it cost about the same as a h22 becuase of all the custom brackets and all

vrrodri

what brackets? B series is a diect bolt in, H22a requires mounts and harness mods...

I always see H22 for a lower price also. I think it is because of the popularity of B series motors, and their ease of installation. The H22 swap seems to be gaining popularity though, maybe we'll see a price increase soon.

1) There is a high demand for B series engines.

2) People are often scared off by the work and research necessary to achieve the h22 swap in a Civic.

3) The lazy people who don't swap in engines themselves don't want to pay high prices for shops putting the h22 into their cars.

So, in conclusion... More people buy the B-series engines...therefore, the prices will be higher (it's about $$$ people).

Well, that's what I think anyways.

Motor itself is cheaper, but with all the bells and whistles...an h22 swap is nearly the same amount as a gsr swap. Correct me if I'm wrong h22 civic owners.

But the h22 civic will kill the gsr civic.

hondas....too much torque? you have to be kidding.....we need all the torque we can get

UpstateCivic

Lol, I just finished getting all the parts for my swap, and it ran me just under 3000. That's the same price as a b18c. It's preference. Get what you want, not what other people say is good. Hasn't this topic been covered 80 times all ready?

b16ahybrid

yeah anything over 120ft lbs at the wheels is a waste, hp is where it's at... who needs tq....

JReed

BackSideSA

check yourself before you wreck yourself? i bet that took some thought and concentration! you know what i'm sayin fO0o?

Irishweird00

ok..... do the math here..... even if you get the H22a swap for 3 grand, with everything, how much do you think a 3 thousand dollar gsr engine will be after all is said and done???? its 3 grand just for the engine without all the other **** you will need..... do the math.... H22a is cheaper.... if you know what you are doing..
