help me compare: turbo h22 v. turbo b18c1 in 6th gen. hatch
i have a friend that recently bought a 6th gen hatchback. he's trying to decide between a fully built turbo h22 or a fully built turbo b18c1. which way is he better off? the questions we are trying to have answered are about:
1. the drivability of each (would it be daily drivable)
2. reliability (would it break)
3. fitment (Will it fit?) ..... i've wondered that a few times
4. power comparison (which will make more)
if you can help us compare the two and answer these questions that would be great

your from GR, I am from Traverse City. I was just in your town a couple days ago. Anyways,
If I was in your shoes, I would probably build a b18c and turbo that. Considering its a daily driver, the gsr motor would be a little more easy to handle. Fitment would be fine in both situations, but the h22 would have less clearance. And performance, It would all depend on how you built the motor and how much boost you ran.

1 - drivability yes it can be daily driven
2 - it'll be reliable as long as you tune, tuning is the major key
3 - yep regardless
4 - both same technology motors, displacement, h22 will make more power on the same lbs of boost.

H22 weight problem my ***. boost + big displacement, plus rod/stroke and the bore size will own it.

oh yeah I forgot those extra 65lbs are detrimental to the car.
