I have 94 civic hb that i'm just about to buy a 95 gsr engine for but was looking around and have seen a couple h22's for a little cheaper has anyone had experience with both to know which is better for this vehicle, and also i assume the h22 will be a harder install?

thank for your insight!!

 

The H22 is an excellent platform to work on, lots of horsepower and torqie can be had from this motor. It is a bit tougher to install due to the bigger size. But once it's installed, you won't turn back. Search H22 under the EG Forum and lots of information should come up.

a few things with a h22 in a civic is they never thought that someone would stick one in there and there is literally hardly any room in the engine compartment to work in. I'm pretty sure it's soo tight that you have to remove the engine to replace the timing belt, water pump, etc... and the h22 is gonna take a lot of modifications, more money and time to install. Now a b series is straight forward basically plug 'n play, also the b18c1 (gsr) motor is an excellent choice, it has vtec, more hp and torque than a b16a2. The b18c1 seems to be most everybody's favorite swap. If it was me I would either go with a b or k series. It really seems like the k is catching on.

 

the H22 is a excellent platform to start working on it had alot of HP and TQ but the k20 is also a good engine
