well i have the stock b16 in my civic and i was thinking bout putting in an 95 jdm h22 but people are telling me that it is not a good idea and that there will be almost no difference so i was wondering if anybody had an h22 coupe

the car is an 2000 civic si

 

Pointless IMHO.

Then again, im biased towards turbo

 

yea well i am an all motor lover and i wouldnt go turbo if u gave me 1 for free
no disrespect but its just to flashy 4 me

 

Flashy?

None taken...its not for everyone. Honestly though, if you want to go all-motor, id say pick up an ITR.

 

no difference between a h22 and b16?? hahahaha

Yea, whoever really told you that is retarded.

But still, the H22 swap is just too played out for me. I JUST drove an H22 hatch and was really not impressed at all. Yes it has monstrous torque compared to the Torqueless wonder, but still.....

 

they told me that the motor is way 2 heavy for a coupe and that you will barely feel an increase in power

WTF?!

You need to stop listening to these people, because they really have no idea what they're talking about......at all.

Too heavy?...how the expletive can that possibly make any sense?

I suppose the H22 is too heavy for the "Prelude COUPE" huh?....i hope these people who told you this are reading this thread......YOU'RE STUPID!

 

i really like people like u that like to help people out and not just talk shyt all the time

 

people talk **** because there's tons of people who have already done this swap and if you would've searched you would've answered your own question.

Anybody that says there's no difference between a stock B16 and a stock JDM H22 needs to be executed.

The H22 drops a ****-ton more HP and even more torque.
At the flywheel:
B16: tq = 113lb/ft tq. (A stock Z6 drops 106lb/ft tq. at the flywheel, lol)
H22: tq = 161 lb/ft tq.

As carroll shelby said - "Horsepower sells motor cars, but torque wins motor races."

The H22's a beast.

A B16 is what a ricer has a wet dream about.

Two different engines.

Man....i feel ya on this! lol

I PERSONALLY just dont like this because its a very played-out swap. But thats just my opinion. However, I will never go against the fact that the JDM H22 is FAR BETTER motor than the B16.

 

i know its a played out swap but so is basically every honda motor and its also really good to do all motor

Cant really say "its good to go all-motor" because it just depends on what your overall goals are.

I guess you can say its a "little" more reliable than being boosted, but once you tap into the internals, reliability is up in the air.

Like i said...ITR swap

 

i am not saying that i want 300whp i just want aroung 230-240 to the wheels and i would love life

I didnt say you did

And im sure you will love life....most people dont know what 230whp feels like

 

with that much poer i should be hitting mid 13 with complete interior what u think

and ur a real cool guy thx for the help

 

turbo your b16 , you could get 230-240 on stock internals pretty easy and it will be way cheaper than a H swap

 

i dont really like turbo and if i ever would turbo a car i wouldnt got for 230whp turbo its might be quick but its just plain stupid putting a small *** turbo on a car that u can get the same hp doing all motor and then take the car like nothing on the track

Depends on your driving skill bud.

Ehh...this is very controversial. Im going to take it easy on you because you seem like a pretty good guy who is at least trying to learn. However, its not just about throwing on a turbo to any particular motor. You pick the right size snail for your application and determining what your HP goals are. Honestly, you would have to build up that motor quite a bit to get 230-240whp. I know the H22 is rated at 200hp, but thats to the flywheel....not wheels. You boost that motor, and you are easily making that power plus more without breaking a sweat!

Then again, theres many factors that come into play.

Bense (I believe it was Bense) said it best:

Swaps are for people with some basic knowledge
Turbo/Superchargers are for people with more knowledge/hands on.

Not saying you dont have knowledge, but Turbos do require a lot more maintenance sorta speak
