Well, i'm getting a hatch, some of you may know brandon, and his ek, well i'm buying that and i'm ordering a motor for it the same day, i need help deciding on what kind, i've considered the jdm type r , the h22, or a gsr. i like the c5 and i heard h22's go shitty in swaps, so any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

what are the plans? all motor? boost? what? from what i know the h22 and the c5 dont handle turbo all too great, unless they are tuned correctly, but ive seen some damn nice SC'd ITR's. if you plan on all motor drop in an h22 or a c5 if you have the cash, but make sure you have the suspension to handle the extra weight of te h22. plus you have to consider are you wanting a drag car, autox, etc? i highly doubt the h22 would be any good for auto x or road racing, but in a straight line it'd be VERY nice. i say get a gsr motor, talk to Si2See he has a swap in chesterfield (near richmond) that he will install and crap for about 3k. supposedly has some aftermarket parts, but i say itd be worth it to not have to worry about shipping and all that. i know you guys can do the install, but youd still have to wait a few weeks before youd get the motor. just my opinion though, but i say get a gsr.

 

how bout a b16 =)

 

i know someone who jsut dropped a h22 in a hatch and that shit is far from shitty...that shit is a beast for real. and damnit, you should buy my hatch. i already dropped a new gsr init and boosted the bitch.

 

not true..theres a dood on honda-tech that road races a h22 hatch and he out handles a lot of people and beats a lot of people..he even has guys with R motor hatchys wanting to switch to the lude

 

Well i narrowed it down i guess to the b18c5 and the gsr, not sure though on boos or all motor, i just want to get an engine in it soo, and drive it, i'm not really concerned with crazy shit as of yet. but, i'll talk to si2see and see what he has top offer. thanks for the advice and if anyone else has imput hit me up.

 

b16

 

if your going to boost go ls/vtec just get it resleeved and build it up

 

The b18c5 is a waste of money in my opinion, unless you can pick it up for a good deal.

 

I agree.
