That's what they told my buddy. But we're not allowed back there of course, haha

Stick with the D. You can start by buying my pistons :P

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

hahah i dont want high cr pistons, lol

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

I've had them all, and yes B series engines take a better beating stock for stock, you could build up a D, but then you still have a D and a built B spanks your ass any day.

I say get a B series engine, they are beefier, stronger, make more power and can handle more power.

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

gotta rep the d man, come on unless your going for 400+ i would stick to a D im just cool like that

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

if you decide to stay D i'll have a bottom end after my build, i've got one right now but im going to swap that in place of the one i have in the car now and just swap parts over

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

You don't want an H22 dude.Not only would you have to buy the swap for 900 bucks you would still have to sleeve it to run any kind of boost. The sleeves are frm not iron so you can't run forged pistons the forged pistons chew up the cylinder walls.

I dunno though, stock an h22 has what about 160-170 whp so running about .5 bar would probably get you up there hp wise .to much more will probably kill the stock pistons though.

I'm nobody around here. But if it were my descision.I would go B series. the market for B parts is huge I gues parts for a D are to but Ive noticed any site that sells car parts always has something for a b16 or 18.

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

7-10 psi on a good tune would be fine in an H22 in my opinion, you dont absolutely have to sleeve it to run boost ::), there is a forged piston available that was made specificly for the FRM sleeves but i havent heard anyone with any experience with them so i cant comment on them

an H22 swapped into a hatch, weither it be an EG or an EF will be decently quick with minor modifications, i had one in an EG a while back and was surprised how fast it was with just a 6 puck and lightweight flywheel, i would have kept it if i had the money to put together a turbo kit for it, plus it got just a bit over 45MPG

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

If money is tight, just build a D. It's still going to run you some money. If you had a monster D series, would you always wonder what it would have been if you went B? If so, than go B. For the price of a stock B vtec head and transmission I could probably build a D series bottom end. It's tempting, but I'd always wonder, so I'm going for it.

Re: Decisions, Go B or stay with the D
 

I went B because I got a full swap for $300.
