Default h2b or h22 in EF

im doing an h22 swap in my ef before next summer. thats not a question. my question is if i should go with the h2b or just the whole h22 swap. on hmo they have the h22 motor, lsd tranny, and ecu with wiring harness(i think) for 2300 plus shipping. or on passwordjdm they have an h22 longblock for 1200.

so h22, lsd tranny, and ecu for 2000
mounts for around 300
then axles
then dealing with the weird shift cables

or h22 for 1100
ys1 tranny no lsd for 500
around 900 for the h2b kit
mounts for 150 (locally)
axles
and simple shift linkage
and better gearing

ill have the explicitspeed crossmember either way

also with explicitspeed they seem to have the hood gap problem down for just the h22 swap(correct me if im wrong) and on there site they say they have perfect axle angles.

so if they have the hood problem fixed with good axle angles then the only benifit to h2b is the simple shift linkage and better gearing right?

iv heard people complain about weak h22 tranny's. but i doubt i'd get much more power than what it came with stock so i should be fine right???

keep in mind im still researching this so if i forgot something major go ahead and point it out. thanks alot

you'll need to space your hood with the H2B.

The B series solid shifter, stock axles and better gear ratio's are the incentives of the H2B.

I can't imagine the hacking required to get that in an EF.

I would say go ahead and decide which one u want to do the h2b or just the h22 because you will just end up having to buy more stuff for the h2b if u do hte h22 first. I would go ahead and do the h2b, it would be almost the same amount except for the adapter place, jus some thaughts onwhat i would do

HUGE difference.

A bseries EF is a walk in the park compared to an H2D swap.

if something as minor as a cosmetic issue is enough to influence your decision, go with your run of the mill h22

the crying occurs during the hunt for the hood that will work.....
keep in mind that when doing an H2B EF a spaced stock hood is not an option you either run "hoodless" or with a cowl hood.
