You can pickup the h22a engine for very cheap... if you are going to go b18.. you might as well go b18c7 and that's a little bit just more than your budget.. If I was you, I'd go straight for the h22a.. im pretty sure you can source most of the parts from around the forums anyway, just might take a bit of time.
The engine is, much, much cheaper though. My mate just picked up a vtec h22a for $2450... just have to look around... the torque is nice =]...
Personally, I prefer b series.
If your really serious about owning a B18c EG.
Then send me a msg and ill take ya for a spin in my so you can see what its all about.
Ill be leaving the country next year so if save your self the hassle and some $$ then your welcome to make an offer for my..
Has a few extra things you wont get with a SiR-G front cut

use the lightest engine... H22A's are heavy!!!! but are definatly cheaper...
both are excellent combinations anyway... it would be good any combination..

u dont need to change the headers but you will need to get a custom exhaust made up. who really wants to run the stock eg exhaust on a h ? and the headers are longer than the stock eg exhaust as well.
a 15kg weight increase in the front of an eg, i dont really think thats gonna make a big difference. h22a conversion is perhaps the same weight as most ppl that convert dont run p/s or a/c. so that'll probs wack 15kg back to stocko.
dont let weight phase you out!
buy that just the block, what about the whole engine?????? H22 definately look a lot bigger than b18, header, intake manifold, actual housing of the block....weight difference???
H block: 123
B block: 104
difference = 19LB (8.6kg)
H trans: 96
B trans: 90
difference = 6 LB (2.7kg)
and then the thread author goes on to say H head is 10LB(4.5kg) heavier than a B head .
thus TOTAL difference = 35LB (15KG)
the thread author goes onto saydude they're still both four cylinders. you could make a b18c a 2litre or maybe a 2.1litre not too sure and would that make it weigh a hell lot more than a normal b18c ? answer is no.Quote:
As for the rest of the crap... who cares. Intake manifolds are light for any motor and come in different flavors, same with headers and all that BS. Accessories are up to the owner of the car. Everything else hardly applies... flywheels are up to the user, axles, clutch, aluminum or steel oilpans, etc etc all this shit is up to the owner of the car so that crap doesnt need to be part of the comparison.
what is this ?what do u mean by that ?Quote:
actual housing of the block....
if you go down the B path, go LSVTEC! b20 block & b16 head!
h22a eg is definently bang for your buck! you can get a setup just under $5grand depending on the parts you use. but with b18c series, i doubt u'd go b18c2 (in dc2 vti-r) and if you go the b18c7 then your definently spending atleast 6grand for a cheap halfcut/engine.
My recommendation is B18c.
H22a to much headache.. save yourself the hassle and do a B-series conversion
i have a h22a in an eg and if i had the choice again i would of went with the JDM b18cR.
Easier to work on (eg. changing water pump and timing belt) and has the same power and better gearing. Just less torque. Plus you can keep a/c and p/s without any problems.
