h series swap requires a couple more things than a b series. but damn well worth it over a b16.

Read the "what swaps are available for my Civic" thread at the top of the forum and stop wasting our time with questions of preference

H22 of course is going to be better than a b16 simply because its a bigger motor, makes more power and torque and it will drop right into the car about as easy as a b16 swap once you have everything needed.

Go for the H22, just do it right and be sure to boost it.

Friend of mine has one in an EG and the car moves out decently for being on the motor right now, but soon he is going boosted and it will be a whole 'nother monster.

I wouldn't recommend the H if you're going to be autoxing, but for drag... H&gt;B

exactly my thoughts Mikey


what is with all the comparison threads? Everyone's opinions differ, just read up on both and pick which one will suit your needs financially and however else

honestly dood look in the very top. this has been covered probably 90743095738945709348508934750938475903847598347854 539485739039480573489057.0487538904753489075390485 34890573489057349085734890573times.

considering ur a noob(no offense) u could prob only do the b16 and need mucho help.

if ur a mitsubishi guy. do those guys atleast search on their forums before they post?

True. However, depending on how mechanically inclined the OP is the B series will definitely be an easier swap.
