Target : Both boosted H22 and a B18c to build w/ the same budget in an EK, what would it be.
Lets say 5K total spendings starting with the car,engine,tranny already running NA.

Stuff you already got: hasport mounts, FR traction bars, Aeromotive FP, -FPR, 650 HP FMIC, engine management, lenso w/ racemasters24.5, GT35R, 50 mm BOV, 46mm WG.

 

B > H and yes ive had both. H made a little over 500, B is over 800 right now

 

what was your set up comparison?

 

B

 

K owns B B owns H

 

set ups were obviously totally differnt. im not at all trying to say that the B made 300 horsepower more, just stating that they were both pretty heavily modified.

 

The B have proven to be more dependable.

 

I like my h22 in my coupe.It depends on what goal you have.

 

5k spend with the stuff i mentioned that you already have.....
only one H22 lover here????

 

Nice thing about the B is you can just throw pistons and rods in it later down the road, you will have to sleeve the H.

 

or get mahle pistons...

im a H series fanboy! my votes for the honda big block ( of its day )

 

you can get the f/h combo? to stay under 5K?

 

B hands down!

build a solid bottem end and leave the rest stock and make 600+ no problem

 

And thats diffrent from the h ?

 

anyone else....???

you can keep the tranny in it

 

I can buy 10 f tranny's for the price of one b.And sence when can a stock b tranny hold up..

 

If your making more power/tq with the B than you are with the H, with the same set up...... Theres something wrong.

Our of the box, the H head flows what most B heads flow after head work. Custom and even shelf cam options are becoming more and more available, IM options for FI are there, The H is obviously bigger (bore/stroke).

If built properly and the same attention given to both, I dont see it.

 

H/F2B you can buy an f22 block for under $100. slap some rods,pistons, h22 head, turbo and you are good for a while. You can use the h22 crank/rods if you like.

since 1994 when the hydro style came out...stock trannys hold 500whp all day to and from the track trust me i know...the problem becomes when you make more then 750-800

I had several H series cars and Its not my thing...shifting issues...tranny grinds

Also there seems to be less of a traction problem with B series motors

In case you forgot our cars are FWD! its all about the curve and traction

 

But remember you have 5K to spend....

 

The fund you have left after the engine basis mods, Think the traction issue can be solved.

 

Do you already have the Mounts?
