Im tryin to build an all motor build but everytime i get set to do it, i hear more info. I heard that the H-series is a good swap for an EG, do a h23/22 vtec and run some great numbers.

Really what my question is, I have a b18c1 it runs great but i can get more power out of it still , all i got is 176whp , can do cams and new pistons and so forth, however i was thinkin if the H-series is such a great motor why not do that?

Really my question is what motor would be a good jump off for. The car is not just going in a straight line , Its my daily driver and does circuit track stuff, so its not just a drag car i need it to be able to perform everything. Any help would be great thx

 

ive heard bad stories about h22/23 frankensteins but id stick with the gsr motor and build you can search and see what people have put down with gsr motors maybe add a b20 bottom end with better rods and higher com pistons pnp the head with stg2 or 3 cmas edelbrock manifold or skunk2 or aebd or u can go itbs it all depends on hoe much money ypu got if you go b20 spend the exra money to sleeve it get a good header and a good tune u can llok at from 180whp to 250whp depends on your budget

 

Yeah well with a b20 bottom end i would just end up sleevin it, so i may as well just bore and stroke my b18?? Or would it be better just to start off with a b20 and sleeve it and everything?

Yeah ITBs is a later add on, rightnow i got a skunk2 intake manifold and that will do the trick. I have yet to hear a ITB up close so until then i will reserve my thoughts on it, i dont wanna get it and hate it for my everyday drive

 

there is more aftermarket parts support for the b-series, plus the b-series is an overall stronger motor than the h-series. i dont know who told you different but they dont know their ****. just cuz its bigger doesnt mean its better.

 

So would it be better just to bore and stroke and sleeve my b18c1? or sell that bottom end and sleeve and build a b20 bottom end?? I guess thatis my next question

 

Keep working with your b18c.The b20 is just a cheap way to get displacement.Sleeve (oversize) and stroke the b18c and you will have a good all around engine.
