well, there have been a lot of threads dealing with this type of debate. I assume you keeping both motors na, right? ls/vtec with boost can b great, but in this case, H2B definately. I've heard they're pretty sick motors, especially with the b tranny. Since it's a DD, h2b has a lot of tq. so go with that! Think about it, you shouldn't be reving extremely high on any motor if driving it on the street. You want something with torque and a fair amount of power.

(I beleive some have gotten them WELL-TUNED into the 12s)

h22's at MOST weigh maybe 30lbs more than a regular B swap.

with a b tranny subtract 7-8

It's not a big deal, relocate your battery.

the mounts you can use stock gsr mounts. just have to get the bracket to hold the mount from whoever you buy the h2b kit from. h2b is great, my friend just dynoed his car 2 days ago and he made 210 whp and 162 torque. thats some really nice numbers for stock jdm h22 h2b.

Explain!
I think that you tend to be bias because you have that swap. An LSV can make just as much power as an H Series. I had an EK w/ an H22 and I hated it. Even though the weight isnt that much it felt like a ton.

for false info, H22's dont make 210wheel stock. Not even a Type S motor. They dont even make 210 base.

k20 isn't even part of the topic Buddy.

He was asking about 1.8L ls/vtec, and h22's.

Quit bringing up off topic subject matter.
