h2b is a h22a motor mated with a B series transmission. It could also be called f2b since some people use the f20b blocks. It could also be called h2d which is an H series motor mated to a D series transmission. Sounds kinda crazy huh? but from what I seen and heard its a K series killer.. It has tons of potential and the h2b kits allow you to keep your B series mounts, b series axels, and B series shiftlinkage. The only thing your really changing is the long block itself. Hope that explains it all in a nut shell :]

i thought it had to do something with the H22a.
but thats pretty cool. im going to start looking into that.
K series killer huh?
once im done building my B16A2 and boosting it, i will be a K and H2B killer.

I'm waiting for a reply to my email, have the money ready for the kit.

I'm in England though so will have to pay more on postage. Haven't received a reply yet but if he was waiting for more to come in then I guess that is the hold up.

If he is out of stock give the guy a brake your talking 7 days and 2 days of that are weekends. calm down and give the guy a chance to get things in stock and get them shipped out. It sounds like this kit is some what of a one off and I m sure your not the only one waitng.

the question isn't about me being patient.. the question is "is anyone else waiting for the kit?" smart guy.....I know the kit will eventually come but I want to know how many here on honda-tech are going H2b and if so are they also waiting for the kit from QSD. Everyone is calm I dont know where you get all the "excitement" from....

an h2b is not a k-series killer. K's have the newest most up to date technology whereas the H series is old and becoming out dated. i'm not sayin it's a bad set up cuz it would give a k20 a run for its money but it's def not a "killer"

haha this thread is too funny, OP the over night parts from japan was a joke that obviously went right over your head. bottom line H2B is one off. its a custom made mount. it takes time to make them, i am sure they are just out of stock at the moment.

and dang is right h2b is not a k-killer actually the frankenstien known as the K-Killer is the G23... which is a f short block, h head and h2b kit. massive torque/hp for a fraction of the cost of a k... and k pistons drop right in for a bump in compression.

cheap transmissions? they are more durable then h trans... etc. etc. and you can always change out your gear ratio. search for mistabone and his transmission guide

Im asking a question. Im not here to make or laugh at jokes that doesn't even answer my question especially when its insulting my intelligence or to make someone happy by agreeing with a smart ***.. besides I know they are out at the moment that's why I put up this thread. and I never complained or downtalk about the company or Seth so why are you so quick to assume that I am some kind of complainer? anyways Back to topic.

You have 2.3 liters vs 2.0 liters... Im not saying whether its a K series killer or not having not been able to experience it yet because of the kit but I will say that it might have a slight advantage over 2.0 liters of a k20a2. Besides its much cheaper but hey who wouldnt go K if they had the money? and the H series is always good for improvement when it comes to upgrading. But stock for stock and maybe just some bolt ons Im going to say that it will eat up the k20a2 stock vs stock with bolt ons and a good tune.

The G23 is the frankenstein of all frankenstein motors.. I mean k20a pistons, h22 head, F series short block and an H2b kit.. With the best B series transmission such as an ITR with Lsd It would be a torque monster and can maybe be built similar to a built k24 with less money. Besides these are all budget builds not everyone can afford a K.

I have no clue either but I know that Bisimoto is on top of his game when it comes to SOHC.. I believe that is where the kit originated from. There are some pretty cool videos out on youtube also.. you should check them out.

qsd has bad customer service and seems like they don't care that there is demand for their products. I'm using the evo kit for the past 1 and half and i absolutely love it.

well it all depends.. I believe they are out of supplies because I talked to Seth on the phone and he tells me that during the tax season, people started ordering the kits like never before!! Since many people got their tax returns. Now they know to have more supply for next year just in case demand goes up.

I might just order the evo kit but I was wondering how is ground clearance? I have a 96-00 ek so hood clearance is not an issue but I want to know the ground clearance. How low is your car?

are you building an H2B or doing the G23? sorry i wasn't trying to be an *** hole. i am just a firm believer in calling the company, finding out why they have taken my money but not shipped it yet. then i would ask for a shipping number.

but anyways and h2b would not eat a k... i can tell you first hand. i have a friend thats running an h2b in a sedan. its quick but not that quick. how ever the G23 would put down more torque and more hp then a K20 for a fraction of the coin. the g23 alone stock pistons (no k20) would probably be around as fast as the same car k-swapped. thinking outside the box

because its way lighter than a b or a h tranny. you can easily have gsr gearing with other tranny gears from diff year d-series trannys

MEH honestly i've heard this a hundred times the last couple of years. I think the only people that have recently gone h2b via qsd kit have bought them used off the forums etc.

The ground clearance is allright on my eg, i really can't slam it but i know you'll have better clearance on the 96-00. Other than that the hood closes perfectly and all the parts are quality.

here's a pic of my car, just to give you an idea of how low i have it right now with absolutely zero issues (rubbing header scraping etc.)
