Why dont u just go b-series? It seems u got that kind of money cause ur goin after the h22. Ask frostee. He has h22 in his ride but he has been beaten by numerous b-series swapped rex and 4th gens. I would go for gsr motor for that torque and a bit more potential than b16. I just makin suggestions!:) Oh and its less hassle:D

Yeah...an H22 is a tough squeeze..b18's are pretty common and plenty of motor for a light 4g Civic.
I think an H22 is like 190-200HP, and b18c5's are pushing 180HP+ stock :confused: ..and weigh less than the H22. so your power to weight ratio may be about even..and a b-series swap is easier than a h-series swap.

Crx and 4th gen hatchies are the same set up on the engine bay. NO difference at all. B18c comes from gsr 170 hp 127 lbs tq. Jdm gsr comes with 180 hp 134 lbs tq. B18c5 195 hp 134 lbs of tq Jdm b18c5 comes with 210 hp and i think 134 lbs of tq. :)
