Re: h22 vs. b20 vtec (Turbohatch)
costs for the H22 will be more, because you will need a mounting kit. They go for around 400-500 dollars. I believe that the H22 will also cost more, but i'm not sure how much more. The H22 will have more power. B20 will drop right in, but with the H22 you'll have to use custom mounts, or get someone that likes to weld 
. Also you have to convert the shifter to cable instead of shift linkage (it's still a hydro tranny though). Everyone talks alot about understeer, but after talking to some people that have the H22 swap, they say it's not as bad as everyone makes it seem. The b20 weighs around 300 pounds, while the h22 weighs around 380. If you got a carbon fiber hood, you could lighten the front by about 25 pounds. Also if you don't get any sway bars in the front, and get the big ITR rear sway bar, i heard it helps alot. Hopefully someone that has done this swap can reply, because i'm somewhat clueless on this topic
