B16, B18C1, B18C5 or H22A
Which is best overall (performance, handling, repore, originality) to swap into a 5th gen Civic??

Looking for people's opinions in general...nothing to specific...

Performance: H22A (No replacement for displacement)
Handling: B18C <---(Best power to weight ratio + HP to displacement)
Repore: B16A <--- (Honda version of the Chevy 350)
Originality: None, they've all been done before.

hmmm...what if we were to swap an F20 into the 5th gens...that would be pretty original...cause we all know the F20 engines are a dime a dozen

for the amount of work you would have to do to install that, you might as well go with an H22

I think the h22a would be a good
chose.
You could always make it handle
like a Type R but pricy . Almost a
down payment on a house. Price
wise the b16 wins hands down.

CHEAP N FAST!

I actually had a thread going on that topic a while back.. swapping an F20 into a Civic. lol

We concluded that it wouldn't be worth while.. it'd cost so much to do it.. you could probably take the money you spent doing that.. and the money you spent on buying the car and actually buy the S2000

Cheap and fast!, The way to go, lots of bolt on part, lost of test done on the mods, lot of people know how to do it.

h22...good bang for your buck...insane power with out any mods to engine...but potenial for future power gains is less and more expensive than say a b18c or b16.....type r is too much money.....both sir and gsr have plenty of potenial with lesser cost than say the 2.2 and for the money that sir and gsr are going for now you can have alittle change left over for some minor engine mods......thats my 2 cents...and 2.2 mounts $$$$$

But that means I would have to take it to LeitnerPerformance and have it torn down and rebuilt and I would get nothing but tickets for having too much fun
