Default why does an h22a cost less that a B18C........(which swap for eg)

i was just wondering why a complete change over from hmotorsonline costless than the other. B18c is 3200 and the h22a is 2200 but yet the h22a will produce more hp and torque but yet it costless? and what would get me better 1/4 times in an eg coupe? or should i just save my money and get a type R swap?

mounts, axels, and other **** for the H22 make up for the "cheap" price. Let alone that its a completely different platform.

because it cost more to put the h22 in then the B18...... its cheaper because B18 can easily be dropped in using your stock mounts wiring etc..... h22 theres more to it then that so people wanna try to avoid the custom work... either way when you add the swap total it comes up to roughly the same.. rough est 4500

Simple supply and demand. Lots of H22's out there and relatively few people looking to buy them. The primary reasons for this have been listed above.
