How much money you have?

Budget....
Fo medium to high budger, stick with the B18C5.
For high budget to "**** I could have bought another car" budget, go with the H22.

Ease of installation.....
Go for B18C5

Well, the budget is about $15,000 and we found a 1993 Civic for $3500. My client wants a Civic that's fast and good looking, so he wants part of the budget to go to a body kit/rims.

If the guy just wants to drag race then put the H22 cause i've heard handling with that is not to good but if he's into handling a lot then get the b18c5. Either way the car is going to go fast

if you want something daily driven then go for the b18c5....have you ever tried driving a hatch or accord with an h22 swap? talk about a workout for your forearms....and the itr swap is easier to do and doesn't require a mount kit, special axles, modified shift linkage or modified wiring......its up to you...both should be around the same price after obtaining all the correct parts
