b-16/18/20 or h22
i just bought a 94 civic hatch shell.
need some advice on which motor to go with . i always liked the big h(had two h23s but never a h22) but thinking about tring a b motor. i know parts are easier to come by but i never drove one is it relieabe. i know the specs and it will weigh less than a h22. i live in the f!!!!!g boon docks so i drive alot of windy roads and long strait shots my ave. speed is 60 mph. this info might help for the application also what a about realiable boost on h and b

Re: b-16/18/20 or h22
K series anyone?
heavy, but FAAAAAASST
I have a B18C (OBD-I SIR-G) love it, very reliable very strong.
An H22 will hurt handling from what I've heard.
B20 requires some building to be a performer.
B16 head, b20 block, boosted or with some high compression would bread a killer.

k20 lighter then B18.
b20 requires no more building than a B18
If you can't afford a K20, get the biggest B series you can afford.
Don't fuck with a H22.

if you want to drive twisty i wouldnt get a h22, they do affect handling in ways not to suited for the curvies. b series will please you.
h22's are some tricky sons of bitches. not TO boost friendly either.

Nothing wrong with a b16, if you plan to do a bottom end swap or a turbo setup. NA they suck.
If your not to good with your hands, then just get a gs-r swap. Drop it in and boom.
