H22 , Type R Or B18b

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i need to change my engine and i have a 1995 acura integra, 4 door , automatic transmission


i have 3 choice

a b18b bolt in just like mine with auto transmission and all the stuff ( ecu distributor, alternator, axles, etc....) for 1200 $ swap included

or

a type R motor with a B18B not just the longblock but everything w/automatic transmission for 2500 $ overall for the complete swap

or

a H22 motor with everything and a auto h22 tranny.... everyone is saying that an auto tranny dosn't fit in since it's too big... but i believe it would be possible to cut in the frame to make it fit custom and have nice results
h22 + auto tranny + ecu + H engine mount etc.... everything for 3000$ if it's possible


anyone could tell me a good choice for him/her and tell me why?!

and could you tell me if it's possible to do an auto h22 swap in an acura integra with LOTS of fitting

 

Skunked would def know the deal with the big H,
But I would stick with stock stuff if you're keeping the auto tranny.

 

I'd go R motor. Pound for pound the best choice in power.

The H22 Auto swap has been done before.

Any reason why your sticking with an auto.

The OP probably doesn't know how to drive stick, either too lazy to drive stick, has knee problems, or has bad timing and coordination with his feet and hands??

 

so u don't have alot of power when u use the b18b auto tranny or a civic sir auto tranny with the type r motor?!?!?!


is it very long to do the h22 auto swap in it

 

the auto tranny sucks any power the engine makes. moreso than a manual.

 

if you're sticking w/ an auto, then give up this idea of getting a good engine...just get another B18b and be done w/ it...dont waste a good C5 on an auto tranny...

^^^^^seriously

 

yup auto

 

H22 all the way.... I don't know about the automatic part in that case I would just stick with an LS and get on the unit every now and then. I think it would be more fun and less headaches and money.

 

where are you getting the type r for 2500

 

whatever you do don't put in a b16 your life will come to a end when your car doesn't move after 60 mph.

 

MR skunked FTW~~!!!!!!

 

none of them if ur goig to get a new engine get a ls manual if ur looking for a cheap price range but reliable and little quick

 

b18b or h22. the b18c will be a waste. What are you planning on using for the ECU? You have to have something that engages VTEC, and shifts at 8500-8700 rpm.....iduno. The H22 will make great power even with the crappy automatic.

Dont waste your time on either. Just get the B18B nice and simple and get it over with.
