I am thinking about trading my B16 for an H22. Should I do it? Been really thinking about doing it as of late, but cant make up my mind. What swap is better?

HavokB18

yes. Do it and dont look back

PDXHatchback

Really....Who is getting the better swap? I have one guy kinda interested in trading me. I think I want the H22. I will have to see if I can get someone serious to trade me.

HavokB18

You are gonna have to spend some cash on mounts and whatnot but unless you had somthing crazy going on with the b16 the h22 with destroy it

just another h vs b arguement. There's already one in progress.

I think you are going to be hard pressed to find someone to 'trade' you their h22 for your b16.

OMFG.........that is hilarious dude!

Reminded me of................ &gt;You eat pieces of **** for breakfast?

Came out wrong I guess. I would also take a GSR. Want to go turbo, but on a B16.

EATIN UP UR BSERIES

keep the b16.

i would have traded you if you didnt live so far away. oh and i just sold my h22 swap. going b16. had both. b is just too much fun. with the right mods a b series will keep up with an h. my friend has a b16 hatch with an aebs intake type r header and a chipped ecu, and he was always on my ***. (.2 slower)

I don't mean to be offensive, but the difference between a b16 hatch and an h22 hatch is about a full second in teh 1/4.

95cxh22a

you're not being offensive. i was there. i ran 14.02 at 99.77mph(jdm h22a) and he (b16a) ran 14.2 at 98mph. of course this was best of day.

why else do you think i would take out my h22 and buy a b16?

I don't know what to tell you, but that doesn't sound like a stock vs. stock comparison. Every b16 hatch I've seen run does between 14.7 adn 15.2...
most h22 hatches can pull 13.7s no problem.

im not asking you to tell me something. i will tell you his set up.
93 vx
no a/c
no rear seat or belts
no spare or jack
removed sound deadening
jdm b16a1(lsd)
cable trans
type r header
magnaflow exhaust w no cat
chipped p28 (skunk program)
aebs intake mani
alum flywheel
exedy stage one
spoon vtec controller


my setup at the time
95 cx (heavier than vx)
full interior
a/c on but not functional
dc header
3" exhaust with no cat
prelude s tranny(peg leg)
alum flywheel
clutchmaster stage 3 kevlar
chipped p72


thats pretty much our setups. no gimmicks here. just info. i can drive pretty good, but my boy can get through the gears in a hurry.

now i will tell you when he first got his setup running he had a stock p72 on it. for b16. he could only muster a 14.9. biggest improvement i have ever seen for such a small mod. best we could tell it just overfueled it.

dunno maybe its a factory freak engine.

i've never seen a b16 hatch run high 14's to low 15's before. never seen times that high with a b16 in a hatch

Well it completely depends on the weight, but yes. I'm telling you, from the local track here, most b16 hatches/crx's run high 14s to low 15s.

skunked

or more. I ran a 14.01 with my b16 (170whp) and swapped it for an H22 and ran a 12.93.

The b16 had cams and valvetrain upgrade along with other bolt on's, the h22 just had a few bolt on's.

Interesting views!

Go H22A. When it comes to performance, a B16A just doesn't come close. Especially when it comes to torque. And this is coming from a B-series guy.
