Default B18C5 or B16B Which is going to be easier to drop in a 90 Si?

I was wondering about droping in an aftermart engine. but I am stuck on which engine to drop? Or is there any other engines that I missed? And my last and final note; How much harder are H22's to put in then a B16 or B18 series engines?

damn you gotta lot of researching to do man.
Bseries is do-able.
all Bseries will be basically the same except for some of the wireing.
h22 is a whole different ball park(seeing your experience, i would not attempt it)

Make sure you use a sledge hammer to make it when doing the H22 swap....

perhaps you should look into spoon engines..i hear they're pretty desirable this close to race wars.

ok, seriously, check out some places and read up. http://www.4thgenerationcivic.com http://www.hasport.com hybrid.honda-perf.org resource.crx.org to start

your title is different from what your question was but whatever.
b-series is all the same to mount in different wiring depending on obds and vtec or not, but all use the same mounts and linkage. possible problems would be hydrolic tranny.
h22 if its your first time to ever do a swap plan on your car sitting for a month solid.
personally if your willing to spend the money of a b18c5 why not go b18c1 and get pistons and a b16a head with cams??????

do some research and get back to us man, best of luck

derek

i think you should worry more about sticker placement and figure out which generation of altezzas you want.....becuase you don't belong anywhere near an engine bay.

Umm...I'm pretty sure that everyone is implying that you should use the SEARCH button. You'll find something useful, I promise.
