Hi was wondering whats better to put in my integra the h22 motor, or the GSR

 

What kind of car do you have? DA,DC etc.?H22 for more power but i heard it wasnt good overall in weight balance and handling... GSR is nice. Why not Type Rs,b16s or Mod your engine up.

 

i would stick with the gsr motor. h22 trannys are the worst and its easier to rev the b series higher if you decide to put a big turbo on it. plus theres alot more aftermarket support for it and its easier to work on.

go for the H22A. craziest engines. if you had an H22A you could beat any gsr's on a straight line as long as you know how to drive it.

 

depends on ur future plans, either is a good starting place

What do you want to do with the car? Give us some more info.

I'll beg the differ....go for the GSR

 

Goals for the car......?

I'd stick with the b18c1

 

The h22 has been done before, by a local guy here in Tucson...Scott Byars of Collective racing.

Check it out..loads of pics..also check out the Crx/h22 I had..

H22 just has too many down sides to it. Weight. Weak bottom ends (must sleeve to do anything) and the FD in the tranny is way too low. Also you have to brutalize a chassis to get it in there....After owning/daily driving an h22 civic for 1.5 years I traded it for a GSR swap. I also love the shift linkage better than the cables (cant hardly find a short shifter for prelude)

The h22 was very built (full skunk2 head w/ stage 2 cams) Made 192whp/144wtq. and the best I could get on street tires was 9.02@80mph 1/8th (like 13.9 (1/4) @ 2600lbs)

My gsr is bone stock and went 9.75@71mph.(like 15.1, 1/4) That seems like a lot slower, but considering how much I had done to the h22. That is only like a car length in the 1/8th.

With the gsr there is way more room to turbo and still have a/c and p/s and whatever you want. Do the smart thing and just stay B series

 

Go with the gsr and save yourself alot of headaces
