Default B20/Vtec or H22a?
which do you think is better reliability wise and potential wise.

a b20z with b18c5 or b16b(civic typeR) cylinder head.
anyone know if the b16c5 and typeR head are the same?

or a h22a with vtec.
and if you choose h22a whether the 92-96/closed deck/smaller main journals or 96+/open deck/larger main journals

thanks

The h22a is awesome but I have seen alot of problems with the axles snapping and not lasting very long.
The CRVTEC I am not sure of, it definently has to be resleeved.

i would figure if you go high horsepower with either setup a person would have to go to custom high strength axles

I would go B18c and do a full build on that.. ---- the h22 boat anchor, and the B20 has a shitty RS ratio.

I was thinking the same thing. You beat me to it though.

more displacement generally produces more torque.
