Default H22 is it worth it?

I was going to go for a B16A but I started looking at the prices, since I am going to an OBD II system any way I decide it might be worth spending a few extra bucks. I need to know a few things first. How much heavier is the H22 then the sock Si engine? How much extra work will it take to install a H22 VS. B16A. Does any one really think it's worth the extra work and weight to intstall the H22 VS. the B16 A?

yeah do a search, the b16 is bolt in (with bolt in mounts) and much more simple, the h22 will require fabbing, welding, being creative etc.

not an expert on the h22a subject. but the b16 will be much much simpler to install, plus u already have the si wiring.

the h22 swap. omg its so much bs to do. but if u pull it off. its got some hela torque not to meantion hp

but ya, there a lots of threads on here that will be a lot of help to u on the h22 subject

peace

I think the H22 swap would be great but it cost way more than a few extra bux. After every thing is said and done its around the same price as a Type R swap.

I am not so bored that I would put in a northstar V8 but now everyone has me thinking about the B18C. I was also thinking maybe just maybe I would but the JDM type R K series and drop it in the my Type S and take the Type S engine and drop it into the CRX. That would be a lot of swapping though.

i think the h22 would be to much....it would be best to go obd0 and spend the extra money that you would save building the motor...another question: do yo have a b series cable tranny to go with the motor?
