Default h22a into 93 hatch

I was just wondering why noone puts the h22 into the hb.Everyone I know wants the b18c.The 22 has more hp and tq than the b.Can someone explain why this is.I have seen package deals for the swap and guides to do it. Im looking for an engine for my 93 and if someone cant tell my why not to im going to do the h22.thanks ttyl .........where can you get the h2b adaptor and what does it actually do?

Because it's slightly more work. There aren't as many aftermarket parts like the B-series. The tranny sucks (now you can get the H2B adapter though).

I'm putting a H22 in my hatch!

lowkeys93hb is right though, the support for the H isn't quite (or nearly) as high as it is for the B.

AND while the H22 can be a lot cheaper than a B series, after it's all said and done the bill is a lot higher.

After reading this post i looked up people who did this swap, looks great but i don't like how the hood is not lined up with the fender, but i think i want to do it now regardless.

Because people always follow the mainstream ( b series ) The swap may end up costing a little more , but you will have a stronger setup off the bat. Dont let people tell you that the parts arent out there for the h series , cuz more and more people are making the crossover since the long blocks/tranny are cheap . Three years ago when I went h22 people always told me that the h was way too heavy , and now we know that the difference is only like 75 lbs.

the hood and fender lining up is NOT effected by swapping. probably just the car. i got an h22 in mine, 2.5 years now. love every minute i've had it.

Thank you for the input. I think im going to go ahead and do the h22. There is a package deal for 2700.00 and it comes with everything except for the 94 gsr wiring harness i think. I am going to try and do this myself so I hope its not to complicated.lol Does anyone know someone who has done this swap that might have some tips to make it easier? T hanks again

No the b tranny doesnt just bolt up to a h22, thats why theres the h2b kit, its basically an adpater plate which allows u to bolt up a bseries tranny.
