To settle the H22 Vs B Series Weight Arguement I bring you this... (pics)
So I am sitting here tonight looking around HT and talking in PM to people about my built H22 I just posted into FI and Prelude... and I come across yet another B VS H arguement... and people start talking about all this weight BS again... the H series I hear rumours of anywhere from 85-125lb heavier then a B swap.
Here are some pics to let everyone with a B loose one of their points. (Not that I am against the B... the B is the ****... but I love the H as well and I have a H and I am tired of the weight argument)
I own a shop, and at the moment we are building several motors. So here I bring you some good ****.
All 3 Blocks are built with stock crank, forged rods, forged pistons, and iron sleeves done by benson (H22, D16) and darton (B16). I have a bensen'd B16 here as well but its already made the voyage to the engine stand so its not getting weighed. The only thing that is not fair in these pics is that the D has the oil pan on it... wasnt gonna take it off just for this BS.
H = 123lb short block
B = 104lb short block
D = 100lb short block + oil pan
So with totaly fair comparisons... the H is 19lb heavier in the short block.
NOW lets move on... the big word that I always hear is that its the H TRANS IS SOOOO HEAVY!!! Lets take a little peak here...
H trans = 96lb
B trans = 90lb
OK.. thats 6 lb... so we have a 25lb weight increase so far with the H22.
I will post here within a day or two as I weigh the assembled cylinder heads, as the H head is definatly heavier... but I would guess 10 lb heavier.
As for the rest of the crap... who cares. Intake manifolds are light for any motor and come in different flavors, same with headers and all that BS. Accessories are up to the owner of the car. Everything else hardly applies... flywheels are up to the user, axles, clutch, aluminum or steel oilpans, etc etc all this **** is up to the owner of the car so that crap doesnt need to be part of the comparison.
So what it comes down to is unless that H head is REALLY that much heavier... we are talking about
35 LB INCREASE!! Thats about how much weight off my *** I need to loose so I would be a hypocrite to be hard on the H.
OH YEA... you might want to see this yourself... here you go:

BTW just for good comparisons I will weigh both setups completely assembled with trans on and EVERYTHING except the wiring harness with the swaps ready to go into the car. This will be the total weight factor after all the ****.

Re: (Natural Aspirated)
i just remember that it takes 2 strong people to lift a full bseries swap and 3 for a Hseries. Its true its just a couple of pounds here and there but all that stuff is gonna add up.

yup and 2 "Naturally Aspirated" people to pickup D series
The only i sold my H series was cause i was getting an excellent deal on a B series GSR swap, and was short on money to buy the mounts, axels etc. I also was selling the H more then i paid for it.

dont forget with a CF hood, and light weight FlyWheel,,,,, the car will be equal if not less than the B series.

you should try to get the weight of a b18 short block, since that's what a lot of people seem to be running.
