This is what I figure in the end if you compare a b18b setup with a mild bolt on kit over here it would be around 5.5k-6k everything installed. An JDM h22a mounted without proper rad or slims fans and running on integra axles is 4k installed and the axles and the rad it would be around 5.5k-6. Btw all these prices are in CAD. In your opinion what would be the best setup? Later on I could boost the H22a but gonna have to sleeve and what not. I'm thinking b18b with boost instead of jdm h22a w. a b18b w/ 7-8psi I should be running somewhere around 200whp tuned which I think I'm assuming is reasonable approx 1lb/10hp theory. What would you guys suggest I would like an h22 but it seems to do it the right way it's getting rather more expensive than I thought and a b18b with boost has great potential. The car would be daily driven and would be a drag queen on weekends . So any ideas would be great. Thanks!

 

I'm not sure about the H22, but I do run a boosted LS in my civic. I love it. If you have any questions about the set up, just pm me.

 

If you're looking into H/F series boost honestly the h22 is not going to be a great idea from what my accord friend has been telling me. Apparently in Accord-tuning circles the F22B1 is the big engine to tune b.c it runs boost like a bat out of hell (8.8:1 stock compression). Honestly if I could go back in time 1 year I'd do that swap b.c I am looking at boost and you can pick that long block up for around $250 if you look for a bit on ebay. (I can get that friend to post if you're interested in that swap; he of course knows infinately more than I)

Between the given choises though, I'd vote b18b; I'm a big fan, of the build the internals-raise the boost-build the internals-raise the boost process of tuning Plus you can slap a vtec head on there if you feel like it later on and get a little more of a hp/tq kick.

 

LS Turbo.............and this is coming from a guy with a h22 hatch..

 

b18boost

 

what he said ^

 

Thanks guys my mind is made up! B18b w/ boost it is you guys rule!
