Default Motor Swap Questions...

Im really confused on what swap i should do....It's a toss up between the H22a and the B18C into my 95 hatch dx...I have heard that the h22 is a PITA to do and takes a long time to do...The b18 is a direct drop in but lacks torque...I dunno what to do, the car is a daily driver and im only lookin for reasonable power...Advice?

daily driver reasonable power go with the b18c.... i had a b16a 2gen in a 95si and h22 in a 93 cx ... wasnt satisified with b16 power h22 was more then enough... so b18c would be inbetween price wise it comes out about the same when swap is complete... h22 swap involves more work but worth the extra effort..

if u want good and reasonable power b18c is the way to go. b18c will be more of a factory fit type. you see how many 10sec b18c out there? (a lot). you can't go wrong when everyone else have it.

Indeed. Sounds like the b18c would be what you want. You will be happy with it.

plus if you go with the h22, you have to cut and weld **** for the shifter. that means that you can't go back to a b series or something easily in the future with out some fabing.
