H22 or B16A SWAP into 95 Delsol
Ok, so I am trying to decide which Swap i want to do, I understand with the H22 there would be more work to do than a b16. but which Engine would be good for high boots/ or High Compression. the reason I ask that is I have not Decided If I want to build all motot or Turbo yet. So I would like to know What the advantages of each motor is as far as Boot Vs All Motor. Which is better for what??

For allmotor use, displacement is what you REALLY want. For this reason, I would DEFINITELY go H22A. Not that a B16A would be bad. But it is just a little underwhelming, especially in the torque department. Yes, the H22A is more work. But you will just be ALOT happier with it in the end.
Boost complicates things somewhat. First of all, boost is somewhat of an equalizer. So the extra displacement of the H22A is not as advantageous as it would be in an allmotor setup (although it still has more HP capability than a B16A when boosted). Also, the H22A has FRM cylinders, which are not known to hold up extremely well to boost. So resleeving would likely be necessary. This could, however, be looked at as an opportunity to increase displacement. But given the fact that boosting decreases (but doesn't eliminate) the advantages of the H22A, you might just decide to go with the B16A since it is an easier swap.

yea its def what your tryin to go for. boost i would def look into a b16 or b18c. all motor it could go either way you can get the displacement with a stroked gsr without the headaches of goin through a h22 swap in a sol.h'm personally a fan of the b series but the fastest all motor crx has an h22 so your call
