engine swap

yeh it will be a sleeper, so 2 ppl now say the h22, but the b18 is pretty good.
so 4 my 90' integra do u think the h22 or b18 4 it and include power and weight ratio?

Well we need to know what you are keeping in the car, are you keeping all the stock parts except the drivetrain?

2667 pounds for the stock Integra GSR b18c1 170 hp/128 tq lb-ft
2643 pounds for the stock Integra LS b18a/b 140 hp/124 tq lb-ft
2809 pounds for the stock Prelude S f22a1 125hp/142 tq lb-ft
2932 pounds for the stock Prelude SI h22a1 190 hp/158 tq lb-ft

Most of the weight difference is suspension, body, Interior parts and stuff like that. P/W ratio is about the same, Lude is a bit higher with .0648 and the GSR with .0637.

Some of the Integra specs here.
Lude specs here.
Ratio guide here.

k by lookin at that it seems that the h22 will b beta then the b18, il go 4 the h22 then

man you shouldnt start a thread like this, u should use the SEARCH tool first before just making a thread coz ur too lazy.
your only new so i assume u havnt read terms and conditions, i suggest u read them before starting another thread.
h22a IMO will be a waste of time and way too much hassle
UNLESS
if u can source a h22a out of a prelude Type S from overseas it has slightly better compression and so it will yield a little more power than the ozzy vtir motor. however if things go wrong and u need parts it will be more difficult to source what you need in some cases. ontop of that the type S h22a is very rare and i doubt u will find one easily, if at all.
i would recommend trying to find a b18c7 front or half cut from a dc2r and putting that in. will give u about the same power and the comes with a better gearbox so IMO would end up faster than the h22a option anyway. plus you dont have to worry about trying to get custom engine mounts and fitting that big ass engine in that tiny little 1.8L space. try and get a half cut rather than just swapping engines coz ur going to need those brake upgrades aswell to help u pull up after hitting that extra power uve just found, Sussy mods would be a wise investment also.

i dont know what u mean by 99 1.8L vtec, are u talking about the Type R motor ie. b18c7 or have u got it confused with the Integra VtiR engine the b18c2????

aus h22 or jdm h22 or type s h22 or even h23a (2.3L vtec) all will put a smile on your face .. if you have driven a h22 hybrid you will know wat sort of power you looking at...

there is already a lotta things to do to fit the 1.8 in..coz the wiring and i think one of the engine mount is different...so the labour is gonna cost....i've got a friend with h22 in his 90 teg....just didn't look as clean in the engine because of all the custom parts....and the front of the car was so much heavier....if u wanna drag then h22..if all round performance b18...personally i like b16

hey spoon.. that friend that your talking about with the h22.. would that be aus91integra or someone else lol

i got a feeling he is my friend...andy...is that u andy?....coz i can only think of one person thats faster than me....on the straight that is...and thats andy's h22 LS

its also the only car with pink wipers ;)

hahah o yeah..come to think of it..i remember now

hey spoon, every1 is tellin me that the h22 has neva been done b4 this that, u sure ur sayin the truth? wat do u have in ur car? and is the h22 worth it bc ive already got the h22 but its a jap version. like how much does ur mate beat u by?

lets not get into the "how many cars you can beat someone, etc". or "how good is a h22, or how good is a b16 or a b18c5" ask yourself why u want the h22..


Adam yes, its andy.



vtegra yes i have a H22 LS. If you located in melb im more then happy to assist you in your conversion.. (ie tell you and direct you in what needs to be done.. a few beers and bbq sounds more then enough ;) of an invitation.. hahah)

and no they are not pink.. its red.. just faded..
