Which engine is the best????

[Jared_80]

What would be the Ideal (US) engine swap for a 98 accord 5 speed. I hear alot of talk about what people are doing with the B18Cs, but today I heard someone talking about a B20 swap from a CRV?? I am new to VTEC and dont mind admiting that I am an idiot when it comes to these engines.

H22 (prelude), anything else is waste of money.

an h22a, h22a1 or h22a2 are going to be the best bolt in swaps for your car. Then again you could always do a h23 block with an h22 head (good turbo motor). The B20b swap that you heard about was probably a frankenstien setup (utilizing a VTEC head) the b20b utilizes consecutive liner construction, "quad-sequential sleeve block." the distance between the inner walls of the adjoining cylinders, are reduced to 6 mm from the separate lines' 9 mm of the b18b, while retaining the same bore pitch. This enables the b20b an addition of 3 mm to the bore of 84 mm which, combined with the B18B's 89 mm stroke increases the engine's cubic capacity to 1972 cc. When mated with a vtec head this motor combo is very stable (frank.). Thats probably what they were talking about, good luck jared.

go with jdm motor---it will be cheaper also---jdm h22a is a monster of a motor--220 flywheel hp right of the bat
