Would the B18C5 engine change the handling of a Sol because you are moving up from a 1.6L to a 1.8L

Maybe a little in a stock Sol, but I couldnt imagine much.. Thats why you just upgrade the suspension to fix that problem..

Nope. I thought before that the weight issue (bigger engine) would cause understeer, but it's not true. You just have to upgrade your suspension.

H22

Is the H22 a better engine choice to go with over a B16? I know that the H22 has more horepower but does that make it a better choice for a sol? Or would it be better to by a B16 and spend the money that i would save making it better. Let me know

the h22a is a better choice if you want to go fast in a straight line. other than that, you will start to experience more under steer than normal, which can only be remedied with an uncomfortable suspension. unless you want a show car or one that is simply used for drag, stick to the b18 or b16.
