Looking on useful info on these swaps I'm debating both of them, my buddy says h22 all the way I just wanna know which would be better in your opinion? I'll have around 3000 to put into it total. That's buying the full swap and doing it myself with my buddy? Any help appreciated. He's pretty knowledgable of everything on the h swap cause he did it to his ek so I don't doubt anything about it just which would u do with the money I'll have? Thanks

 

wheres grumpy saying this one is gonna get locked?

 

Lol....

Buy h22 if n/a b series if turbo or vice versa

 

What are your goals? Plot out your expectations whether it's going to be N/A or boost, power goals, etc. Gotta be more specific. People are biased to what they have and without more information, you may as well throw in any engine code for that matter.

 

Looking for strictly na for sure...wanna be able to beat all the local guys with what they think are bada$$ cars when there mostly junk and also take it to the local drag strip here...looking to just do bolt ons at first then sometime around September build it up pistons rods cam valves etc...will there be enough weight difference to where I need to change my suspension also? Looking to get around 250 with bolt ons and a new intake mani and bigger throttle body plus the basic i/h/e bolt ons?

 

Ttt

 

250 with bolt ons (and tuning of course)? H series.

 

H22

 

Yea chipped and tuned ecu

 

Why don't you do a h2b swap.

 

Would that be possible with 3k?

 

Probably not (H2b) with $3k after all is said and done.

 

I can get a complete swap with an LSD tranny and hasport mount kit for $2800 is that a good deal or no??

 

That's a good start. But you are going to need a little more money to get everything running correctly and to get it tuned.

 

Well I got a buddy with a shop so the tune won't cost me and I think he has the extra stuff I need to get it in and done and tuned but if not I can add more money that's just what I was looking to spend but if needed ill add more any other suggestions or what would be the best tuning software?

 

h22a is like a b16. But with a fair bit more power. The B16 is alot easier to install though, like way easier. It also has some pros... Like you can treat it like you hate it and it will never break. It fits perfect in the chassis, with no axle, hood, or scraping problems. Plus it comes with a B series transmission.

Considering all this tho, I still vote H. H2B is best.

 

I was originally gonna go with a gsr swap and stay with a na build...still kinda leaning towards that too cause I give my cars hell so...

 

i love how he wants to decide between the most torque honda motor and the least torque honda motor

 

You really need to decide what you want to do. I'd only do a B16 if I was going to turbo it. That's my opinion.

A straight GSR swap is also a great starting platform. Hell, even a non-vtec b20 would be a great starting platform.

 

I have a h22 in my hatch, the only complaint i can make is the drone through out the car. I love the torque. True, u can beat the crap out of a b16, but with a h22 u don't need to beat on it to get the power your lookin for. I rarely ever hit vtec cuz there is no need, unless I get someone on the side of me with a grin, then I drop it in second n walk away. My brother has a mildly built GSR n with my bone stock h22 I have him by at least 2 car-lengths by the time I hit vtec in 3rd. Vtec+the h22 torque= YEE-FREAKIN-HAA

 

I'm gonna go h22 I've decided...

 

let me seal the deal

88 prelude si

 

Nice man...one more question. What kind of cutting can I expect to be going if any for the h swap?

 

I see u got a 423 number...I'm in north ga! U live in chatt??

 

Pshhht.. Why show him a H22 in a Prelude chassis?



No cutting here at least. It is an extremely tight fit though.
