B16 B18 H22?????

[CRXkid]

Ok, if i were to go with the B16A, i have three questions. At nippon they have a package for the engine, tanny, and ecu. they also have one without the ECU. would the engine have better performance if I got like a type r ecu instead? is this even possible?

My second question is do I have to get the engine with the cable tranny form 88-91, or could i get the engine from 92-up? will it matter?

and my third question is about how much should it cost to install the engine? and what things should i know about when trying to find someone to install it?

um it unsure about your first question but you are also going to need axles, secondly yes you gotta get the one with the cable tanny pretty sure and it will cost any where from 1000-1500 depending on where you get it done your gonna want a place that does honda swaps often and see if they have done the swap before one of the worst things can be is an inexperienced shop doing a hack job on your install

you just have to stand on the fender and get a body hammer to push in the wall or cut a hole, thats so the altenator will fit.

h22a would be beastly if you could somehow get it to fit.

but consider your handling...if you really like it now...don't even think of getting an h22 - it'll give you some nice understeer

i'm sure theres away to work around that....but it'll probably be some kind of expensive suspension change..

also think about your weight distribution...it'll change a lot.

anyway...if you can dish out the cash to get the equipment to work around those handling problems...i say do it..

it'll be one vicious piece.

if not...i say get a b18c5 - about the same hp as an h22a4 - but less torque.
