Default weight difference between b18 and h22?

just want to know whats the weight difference between b18 and h22. i currently have a 98 civic hatch w/ stock b16 and i do alot of canyon runs. im happy with the b16 but its lacking torque. i was planning on getting a b18c but i have an h22 laying around, and im thinking of just putting that in. i heard with h22 it will be front heavy and i would understeer alot... will a good suspension setup compensate for that?... would appreciate the help, opinion and recommendation

sorry i didnt search other threads about the H and B weight difference up until now. i saw from the threads 30ish - 60ish lbs difference between the two. for drag racing i don't think that would be a problem but for autocross or touge i think its a different story... im still kinda new with all this things, does anybody know how much would it really affect the handling? sorry im a noob

i actually weighed my vehicle on scales before and after the swap. that other post does not take a lot of thing which increase that number. the h22 increased my total vehicle weight by 75lbs without p/s or a/c.

there are open deck and closed deck. there are steel motor mounts and aluminum motor mounts. there are stock flywheels and lightened flywheel. along with many other things which alters the total weight added the the vehicle which is what he needs to know.

all the EKH22's we build handle very well with the suspension set-u pproperly. we can't seem to get EGH22's to ever handle as well.
