I would just get a b18b1 non-vtec. Build that up a little bit and add a turbo. With good tuning, it can surpass 300hp. Those engines are hella reliable, good for boost, good torque numbers, will pull you ek hatch respectively, and blow away your h22 hatch. Just my .02.

well, you just left out the only two engines that are even in teh same ballpark. If you want to stay all motor you are going to spend a ton either way. Why not just turbo the d-series? You can replace them for like 200 bucks and your initial investment is small.

well i thought of that, but i was wondering? from hmo i can get a ls or a b16 for the same price?? which should i get. how much would i have to build either to be getting around 300whp??

 

only thing i would trade my h22 for is a turbo. so maybe b18b1 turboed

 

b18b turbo thumbup:

honestly.. i would go K, i know u said dont say that.. but for real. they are reliable (considering the install is done right) and its gonna be faster than the H.

i would save some extra money and go K if thats a possibility for u. good luck beating ur H...

 

k20/k24 hybrid? or you wanna stray away from k20 period?

 

build a LS1 FC

fwd sucks and you know it

 

i sold my h22 swap and bought a b16. havent put it in yet still rouonding up parts. ppl think i am crazy, but they are too much fun. my friend has a b16 hatch, and its a blast to drive, even though my h22 was faster. and i can put my a/c on.

i still have an h22 longblock for sale if anybody is interested.

You can keep your a/c w/ an h22-eg. It's not easy, but it's definitely doable.
