Use the best of both engines - H engine and B series gearbox and you'll have yourself a good package

In the mean time, use the search function

Yes use the search function, and probably best to use your brain.

Basically based on the same platform, B18C is 1.8L while H22A is 2.2L, which do you think would have a natural advantage in terms of performance? :P

Use my brain!! Shit people calm down,i mean honda to another honda driver,have some respect,derr B18 is 1.8 and obviously H22 is a 2.2.....i mean if you have a H22 in a civic racing another civic with a B18c obviously that the H22 powered car could win,then again if you have a B18 civic racing a H22 prelude the B18 would win,its all about the combos and mix and match,power to weigh ratio thats im on about.......an all motor B18c shits all over an allmotor H22A do you know why???? and surprisingly a turboed B18c goes harder then a turboed H22a do you know why????

Asking too many questions mate.

As above stated. Search. In this case. Research.


The question your asking has too many answers.
Chassis, engine, mods, tune, ecu, driver, weight, tyres, gearbox, they all have a role in this "straight line" contest.

If youre talking about a dc2 vtir vs a bb6 prelude. the prelude will munch the dc2 stock vs stock with the same driver in both cars.

Both engines are designed differently.
H22a isnt a bad engine. But the B series engines were designed better i guess.
And plus, the market has more support for the b series.

As for mods. even though the h22a makes more power, it is heavier.


Its all about expenses too.

H22 is heavier by probably 30kg(quote dyno dave in some other thread)... alot of ppl are mislead by this. in terms of power, if u wikipedia, an sir h22(one that i got) is rated at 141kw at the engine, and i think the b18cr is maybe 145 with less torque. but then you have the gears of the b engine, so its hard to tell without racing... has anyone raced that can prove this to be true or not?

What really matters are the cars your going to swap the engines in.
Each engine has its different performance, it depends on what your going for.
Every engine can be mod to be fast, but the lighter your car the faster.

Your own taste bud. Mod the way you want. Any Honda car can go fast depending what you do to the engine.

thats a weird question... the H22a will always win if their both put in the same chassis.

however if your question was something like will a DC2r(B18c7) beat a Prelude vti-r(H22a) then yes because the prelude is a heavy cruiser

delsol9000rpms

An eg civic with a stock b18c7 conversion will beat a eg civic with a stock h22a conversion.... They have the same power, Ye the h22a has more torque on paper, but the factory gear ratios and final drive ratio are far from perfect on the h22a, compared to the b18c7 close ratio gearbox with a 4.785 final drive. This would help even out the torque field a little bit...

h22 is a good motor also
but you need to get the euro r or type s h22

Many opinions...

Both good motors. I have a stock H22a red top, which has very nice torque, lots of vtec kick, and sounds a bit less feral, and more refined than the b-series. Very much preferred for simple driving around town.

My main gripe is that the 5-speed box it comes with (Type S Prelude/Euro R Accord/Torneo) is just a little bit too close-ratio. Driving at motorway speeds in 5th at ~110km/h, you're sitting at 3500rpm, which just feels a little high, that the engine would be happier ticking over at 2500. It certainly has the torque to do so. The good news is that one can buy a taller final drive kit from ATS/Carbonetics, or one from Top Fuel 0-1000.

NA tuning - there are many more parts avail, more manufacturers for B series, also more competition, so it's cheaper. Modding an H series is a bit limited, but the bits are there to be located.

Turbo - I have yet to come across an off-the-shelf turbo kit for H series, where there are lots for B series. I had a chat to a very knowledgeable chap once who said that H series doesn't lend itself well to FI for some reason, unless you totally rebuild it. On the other hand, B series has been done to death, so everyone knows how to do it well.

GO YOU BROTHER.

to answer yur question the H22A has the displacement advantage, with the more power and the more toque but the prelude weighs a lot more than a dc2r, dc2 vtir or civics etc, hence why my money is on the b18c motor. Turbo and all motor is near impossible to tell because of the extent of the modifications is unknown...
Hope that helps :D

DAMN!gloves are off haha,u start fight everwhere you go bra, dreadangel just back down now,my boy here will go all day.ha:zip:

firstly im assuimn ur talking about no engine conversions rite,meaning b18 stay where it ments to be in an integra and h22 in a prelude? ?


so my opinion to keep the thread clean, b18 stock will be beatin by a h22 in the long run but the b18 has a good gear ratio,as u no bro weve raced and ive smashed you many time,ur lude has a fat arse,to heavy n chunky haha! jokes:p

turbo b18 vs h22,pretty much same principle power to weight ratio seems to be the go,ive heard of b18 makin 800 horsepower with a major over haul work on the engine with a steriod snail attached to it but heck im a B series guy so ill say the B18,as ive never seen a turboed h22 yet and how they go

b18 allmotor vs h22 allmotor, id go with b18,so many after market parts,like wat angel boy was on about, haha


im a B18 guy,not dissing h22 engines,theyre a good engine specialy being put in lite chiassis car,like hi comps civic drag car,thats a monster!

Thats my 2 cents.

Guys just to put in some more input, ive been here a while and ive gone from NA to turbo in a few different motors e.g b18 b16, h22a, d series etc and some advice i can give like a few others have said is that if your comparing all motor to all motor then the h22a is more powerful and also gives you more torque and if the h22a is going to be in a chassis like an eg civic there a alot of advantages on having greater torque. But in saying that the h22a has a few disadvantages also. H22a compared to the b18 is alot heavier motor. Plus the h22 gearbox isnt as good as the b18 and also parts are alot easier to find + cheaper in the b18 compared to the h22a if your going all NA.

Not to go off the thread topic but it may be good to look into a K series also if you want some serious NA power. Also again it depends on what car this K series will be in. There is a few guys on here with some mods in a K24 in eg civic's pulling 12's with much less power than a b series turbo in an EG. Its because of the torque advantages.

anyways thats just my two cents. Cheers

no it wont

Phased
04-05-2009, 10:59 PM
I personally would go with the H22. No replacement for displacement :p.

It may not be as agile stock. However, it has greater potential. Particularly for a track car, the extra torque will help alot with corner exit and when you're in the later gears.

Only big issue I can see with the H22's, is that parts are more difficult to source. Both OEM and aftermarket.

Just regarding all-motor parts for the H22a - they're there, you just have to find them/pay for them.
e.g. Any intake you want, various throttle bodies, Skunk intake manifold, Hondata manifold gasket, cams/valvetrain by Skunk/Jun/Blox to any spec, forged internals/whole bottom-end kit by Jun (made by Cosworth(BLING)) ECU can be Hondata S300. Good headers from SMSP, Hytech, Mugen ($$$) and off-the-shelf exhausts by Mugen, Fujistubo, Feels, HKS, etc etc etc etc.
I haven't found one yet, but there MUST be a thinner H series head gasket out there somewhere.
You could easily drop 30 grand into your H series engine for the ultimate all-motor Vtec build
I've spent the last couple of years trying to fight the temptation...

Limbo
09-05-2009, 09:49 AM
end of the day these engines, are a preference.
With the right amount of money both engines can be as good as each other. It more comes down to what you like...

h22 - is a torque machine
b18 - is a high revver

Then you just enhance their qualities.

Do you like less revs and more power? or do you love a high revving engine?



Boost only enhances the engine characteristics of both engine making them do what they do faster and with more power.

But there is more support for B series and they are more common, thus why most people go that way. H22 came out of a prelude and were more expensive to buy to begin with thus less of them to play with. B series cam out in nearly every civic and integra, thus more common.

Always great info Limbo!

What is the stock rev limit on the H22? It sounds like a similair engine to the b20.

WhiteRice
26-05-2009, 08:56 PM
On mine (H22a7) rev limit is 7800. Vtec crossover is 5800.
A few subtle mods can increase rev limit to 8200-8500.
I've heard of a couple of ridiculous ones doing 10,000

It pulls all the way too

paps02
26-05-2009, 10:48 PM
my h22a SiR revs to 7800, but i never rev it that hard. no point. peak power is at something like 6800-7k. then it drops off (to maybe 120 at revlimit) h22 makes their power in the midrange..

and my vtec is moved forward to 4700 for more linear crossover.

but thing about all this power etc is my h22 is 124.8kwatw. my mates b18cr has 125kwatw but h22a will have at least 15kw extra through mid range rev and with the right driver/setup will beat a b18cr on the strip

wheelie bars + fwd = fail.

You dont know what you are talking about, they use wheelie bars in ProFWD drag racing to minimise weight transfer to the rear or more importantly reducing weight transfer off the front wheels

The stock H22Z1 has a redline of 7500 and a vtec crossover around 5250.
You get the best out of the thing going past redline because the gearbox is shit. If you shift at redline you will shift out of vtec.
