Dollar for dollar.... H2B hands down.
H2B will be alot cheaper to build and will hang if not spank the k's.

F2K FTW!!!

What about the new J series swaps?? 3.7 liter VTEC. 300hp stock.

fast2camciv

i would look more into long term .. like how long do u plan on keeping car ... how much do u plan on moding in the future ... i would go buy a k24 bottom end and k20 top end ... and kill a h2b setup .. but for a price ... if u dont plan on keepin the car for awhile do h2b ... the k series era just started there is gonna be alot more mods for the k and it is alot more responsive to the mods ... i guess it realy depends on how deep ur pockets are and how long ur gonna keep your car to decide if u wanna k it or not

thevtecnician

I would never leave an H for the k20. Especially if you already have the h22. I would however leave the h22 in a heartbeat for a k24/k20 hybrid, but that's another story

got wide

anyone see the write up in the latest import tuner about the honda g23 vtec engine. its a f23 block with a h22a head with k20 pistons. put out 250hp n/a with all stock engine parts. i think id go that way since you already have the h22a pretty sure he tuned it on a chipped p28 which you already have also

i plan on keeping the car for a very long time, ive had the car for 4 years already, and just finished the body and what i want it to look like. now its just down to the powerplant and what i decide to do

racerguy101

if you have the h22 already then stick with it. do u have a dc2? if you do just used that trans

mistajdm

since you have a H already just get a B series tranny and H2B kit and have money left over to play with

AH VTEC

Go K dude... I have a few friends with K swaps and another friend with an H2B with b16 Trans (gutted)... Each K car (all full weight) had I/H/E and KPro but all the K's were on a base map... The K Cars pulled about the same distance on the H2B.... About 3 Cars.... The K Swap Requires Less distortion of the engine bay as well... You have to beat the hell out of the Driver Side strut tower for the H2b and a K looks better and is more reliable...

Good Luck with what ever you decide to do...

fast2camciv

wrong...try again.

i have an h2b in a db8, and i didnt have to bang one single thing (QSD kit) and im using stock mounts dc/db (no adapter mounts like the k series) so the engine bay is exactly how it comes with the factory. the engine, axles, etc are all sitting in the factory positions. no custom axles either. as for being reliable...this thing fits, runs, and drives, like it rolled off the show room floor with it...doesnt get anymore reliable than that.

Preloaded

Before you go K, you should really look at the ground clearance thread on K20a.org. Then consider the roads in your area.

brutekiller787

that is exactly what i'm gonna do. my mom's letting me have the engine in her 04 crv and i'm just gonna swap a JDM ITR head on it.

BenjyJ

I love K's.
had a k20, now have a k24.
that being said, with already having the H.

just go H2B and save the money.

you could always just boost the H.
youd be faster than an H2B setup or k series.
for the same money. who knows what you like though?

DC2 Maggio

my h series tranny reverse is gone, and the h series tranny is junk so no boosted h for me, unless its h2b.

racerguy101

i have a k, but for the money its not wroth it. its way too hard to sell. but the motor is a beast. i beat 400whp supra all day, b20 turbos all day, and fully built bseries all day. i bet a h2b tuned should do that same. or go with a 100 shot and run high 11s

DC2 Maggio

im not selling the car or the motor so i dont care about how hard it is to sell.

9WON4

price
availability
better axle angles
better ground clearance
less weight

for starters

PhrequenC

im saying go h2b.. my boys running a h2b with type r lsd trans. stock h22a with intake header and exhaust.. hes making 224whp and his car rips. its also in a dc2 with s200

.Hatches.

stock h22 with i/h/e 224? BULLSHIT

sauceja

Qsd h2b ftw!!!

DC2 Maggio

is there no k series section on this site lol? or does it fall under hybrid?

9WON4

not that unbelievable.....I put out 215 with a Short ram/header/exhaust. I sure I would've gotten close to another 5hp with a CAI which woulda been close to the unbelievable 220 mark

Yes I have dyno charts and 110mph trap Slips to back it

Regardless Kill this worthless thread

TanksGsr

build your H kuz the money u spend in parts for the K will be krazy i adapted myy gsr tranny to my h22 my self w/o a plate i kno alot uv ppl are gunna komplain but i like it i have beautiful ground/header clearance and don"t even need to knotch my hood but not getting off trak go H2B sk2 pr1 with full sk2 vavletrain and a nice port job with som bottom end work and a nice tune will put a nice smile on ur face but a BEATIN on UR TIRES lol
