B18C(vti-r) or H22A?

a trader on this forum has a EG with a H22A. Do a search can't remember his/her name.

damn... i don't know that to choose. because a car w/o aircon really really sucks penises lol.

the trade off will be between p/s and air con - def can't fit both :) but a good mechanic should be able to give you one.

how much would it take to change form drums to disc brakes and put abs in?

when you get an engine conversion... don't you normally get the brakes from the half cut with it?

rear drums to discs? well you got to find em and then install - i'd estimate parts to be a few hundred (2nd hand rear arms, caliper, discs and pads) and the labour to be a couple of hundred :)

ABS is another story.

daddi-d i think H22a JDM was referrign to rear drums... front cut for a H22A will be a prelude front and this runs 4 x 114.3 PCD - comapred to your 4 x 100... it would be a hassle to run two different PCDs front and back.

it would in the thousands yea

also, to help te strain on the chassis, what can u do?

couldnt atts help with all the understeer

The weight difference between a H22A and a B18C engine is only 25 or 30kgs so most of the replies you have received so far are false,you can run power steering and air con with the H conversion you just need to get some plumbing custom made for this install.Just think about it guys when you turbo a B series it will weight about the same as an N/A H22A.The only draw back is the gearbox ratio's of a H series box but that can now be fixed,you will spend $10,000 + dollars to get a B-series to make 140kw but a H series will cost around the $6000 to make 140 + kw.So if it was me and I was going to do this conversion I would go H series just look at we have done with the H22A powered CRX N/A car from Online Performance.

have you considerd a b20 hybrid?
more torque then a b18 but same size and wight looks the same from the outside also
