B16A2 should I go for it
I was plannin on doing a monster H22a in my 98 hatchie
but my buddy has a B16A2 complete swap ecu mounts all for $2000
SHould I "jump" on this deal
or wait it out for the big boy
I want to run mid 13's when all is said I done and I know the b16 will need something
chime in peeps

Re: B16A2 should I go for it
I would go for the B16A2 It weighs a little bit lighter than the H22 and it'll be an easier, less stressful swap. It's pretty much a bolt in swap.
Check out the pros and cons of both engines here.>http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=878010
Here they are if your to lazy like me to click links.
B16
These can be found in the JDM SIR and SIRII (among other JDM cars, which I don't claim to know all of which it came in) as well as the USDM 99-00 SI (EM1) and the 99-00 Canadian SIR.
Pros
160 hp stock
High RPM power
Fairly inexpensive
Good transmission
DOHC VTEC
Cons
113ft/lbs torque (very little more than a D16z6 stock)
Without knowing what you're looking for you can end up with a high mileage JDM model
Under 4k or so it feels just like a D16
H22/JDM F20B
Pros
200 hp
H22=156 ft/lbs torque
F20B=145 ft/lbs torque
Great torque
DONT WEIGH THAT MUCH MORE THAN A B SWAP!!
http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=684550
Cons
Harder to install than a B/D motor
transmission feel is vague IMHO
Less info out there for the swap (aka, less experience as they are less common)
Price of swap is comperable to a B18C5 after everything is said and done (mounts, etc)

I know jack ---- about those engines, besides what was posted above. It seems to me like an H22 would be a more bad-*** engine. More displacement gives you more of an advantage, plus you got to love torque.
