Default poormans type r or h22

i have been going abck and forth to decide which swap i wanna do to my eg. I'm kinda leaning towards the h22 because it cheaper and puts out good power but will the weight slow me bck down? and if not the h22 then how about a poormans type r?

Please read the FAQ's on the H22, The weight isn't the issue (Its like 14 lbs more) its the motor placement which adds understeer.

and the H22 still costs a fair amount of money when its all said and done.

both will end up costing u bout the same
h22 is more worth the money, the understeer can be fixed with a rear sway, the weight isnt a big deal especially wen ur getting 30+ft lbs of torque

h22 is not cheap it adds more weight i have it in my ek but sure does drive crazy and pull real hard but u have issues with axle s and timing belt tensioner ect but u will not be disapointed at all . never had a poormans type r so i couldnt tell u much about it.

the h22 will definately give you more bang for ur buck, however i suggest that you get some aftermarket axles such as gator or hasport so you dont have to deal with breaking the stock integra twigs youd have to use.
