(H22a <----> B18C) DA9 whats your preference

Just wondering what people prefer about each engine, the torque in the H22A would be nice, but is the Vtec crossover in the B18C a greater? Though i geuss if the vtec crossover is what your after you would get a b16a... Im starting to save money towards a new engine, while im still on my p's and slowly upgrading the sussy and brakes, and im not sure on which one id rather save for.. Ive had a post up before about a b16a or a b18c in a teggy but personally i dont think the b16 is what im after, id rather a bit more torque.

Also, is it a lot harder to put an h22a in a DA then putting a b18c in?

Cheers,
Tom

he has a h22a in his da

if i were you i would go with the h22a :thumbsup:

h22a ls sells for 7k,... that dude in melbourne took how long... i'd go b18c.. you dont need new engine mounts. getting H series mounts is like another $400 .. someone on ozhonda was selling them.. mooshie or something i think.. stay B Series.. go LSVTEC b16/b20... type r killer woot =PP

yeah B20VTEC ftw lol

i honestly wouldnt go b16a in a da9. some ive seen are even slower than ek4's.

imo do a convert that makes it quicker than the base model car that the motor came from.
lol

both motors are good though.

lol i rekon h22a since the last time i've seen are aorund the same price range aswell..

H2B but with a 00 itr box

i dont know too much about the b20/b16 build, its just a b20 with a b16a block right? How much would that be when it comes to price?

I'm not selling any mounts....
Go the B18C, easier to drop in there and heaps of parts around for future mods.

b20 block with b16 head.

but you can really go with any vtec head.. b16a2 b18c2 b18c7 wateva your budget.

lol you can buy a b20b motor for around $800 from wreckers. blocks would probably go for $500-$600 or so.

but yeah they mix and match heads with this block. fatboyz benson fly and jdmtype r im sure have played around with these setups quite alot. im sure they'll have there input on whats the best way of going about it.

or they even might have setup ready to buy for you.

if u got the money h22 or k20 :thumbsup: more torque more fun..
if not go bseries.. for less hassles..

ROFL!! i like this du!
Williams JDM B16a STOCK WITH AXLE BACK MUFFLER > Andre's EK4 with microtech to rev to 10x and headers and axle back


i cracked myself after i heard that AHHAHA

yeah i know its funny! lol!

revving to 10k doesnt really do much if theres no power there.

but yeah once off comparison.. dre's is just a poorly tuned car i guess?

who knows? comes down to driving in that case?
lol NFI!

im doin a b18c in my da9 and with the turbo it should b alrite
