I was thinking of swapping a motor in my db, but I am torn between several motors, I do have somewhat of a budget, but I was deciding between a j32a2 type s swap, h2b, 2.0l itr or k20a2.

a. The only thing holding me back from the j32 swap is that I still want to be able to handle relatively well in turns, however I have spent countless hours on the internet for reviews on how the car handles but have still found nothing or if it's only good in a straight line.

b. As for the h2b im not sure which kit would be best for my car, I have read several different issues such as ground clearance, hood clearance, axles not lining up correctly, shaving of the framerail, so I was just wondering which kit would require the least amount of fabrication or work if you will and the least amount of problems.

c. The 2.0l was just an idea my friend threw at me since I already have an itr motor, however the pistons rings are going and I may very well need to replace the pistons, bearings and whatnot. So I was just wondering of an estimated cost for such a repair.

d. I would love to do a k20a2 with k20a head or better yet a k24a2/k20a frankenstein. However I can't find a good deal nor anyone selling a reasonably priced motor that is complete at the time.

So yea, I was just wondering what opinions I would get from people on the forums. I'm going to be daily driving the car, so which would be the most cost efficient or bang for the buck if you will to do. Or which would not totally offset the balance of the car. Thanks for looking

 

J swaps can handle. Look into DevineMotorsports, they have a eg hatch with a j32a2 in it and they are doing big things in the time attack.
I have a couple big project. Coming up and after my next lsvtec I'm going with a j32 on spray for a Crx.

But from all the research I've done and after getting my j32 engine I noticed that, they are only around 100 lbs more than a b series, and not much more than a h or a k. Suspension tuning is key.

I'd say go J but thts just my $.02
