b18 or h22a?
This is just a general post to fill me in on things I may not know about these engines. I know the ovbious stats but is one better for some reasons I may not know of? I have the option to get either or and before i put the money out, want to make sure. b18c1 btw

I am wondering the same thing i'm in the same situation, people say the h22 is to heavy but I mean who cares about weight? It might effect handling but just get stiffer springs up front and you will be fine, 2.2 vtec sounds realy nice but the gsr engine might be better in the end.

Here at the drag strip you hear more about people with a gs-r engine, that's the thing people drool over. But an h22, thats an engine. I've read other postings that say the h22 stearing pulls more than the others. But how bad is it?

I'd say GSR and use the extra money for turbo kit or bolt ons....or turbo kit!!

The h22 is cheaper than a b18.You can get a Prelude front clip for about 2200 bucks shiped.A b18 will run you about 2800 bucks for just the engine with harness and ecu unless some one hooks your *** up.The h22 is heavier but with the right springs it should handel good.The h22 makes more torque than the b18 ever could in N/A trim so the aded weight is offset by torque.A h22 in a civic is good for 13sec. stock.
There seems to be some misconception in people about HP verses Torque.Torque is acceleration and horsepower is speed.I personally would choose the h22, turbo that ---- and with about 7-8 puonds you should be hitting 11sec. no problems.
well that my two pennies,

h22 for all out drag and b18c1 for street/strip.
i would have to look at the weights for the engines but i think i would go with a b18c for street because it wont make the car too nose heavy.
i dont know the weights of the 2 engines though.
