K20a Aus spec or Jdm H22A type S

update....never got to do the H2B swap as the H22a type S motor ran the ATTS and no one makes a adaptor plate for it.

what about for a circuit car rather than a drag car?

k20/h22/boosted b motor?

These are the rough price for both. Note: engine would be going into a EG civic

I 've seen both h22a and k20a do mid 13's pass. Is it worth the extra 6k for the k20a?

Which one would u chose?

With all honesty if you want a dragger go with the h22a. With the k20a idea, i personally dont advise it because of the fact its way to pricy, ur paying 12 grand for the engine then you probablly have 2 do some customising i.e mounts. However beware with the h22a conversion, as it only is used for drag racing, cornering isnt the best due to the weight of the engine and differential. If you want a fast and reliable daily engine swap go for the b18a from the integra type r DC2's, these engines are great and offer a large variety of aftermarket parts. Hope this helps!!

I think the K20 set up will be lighter than the H set up? I may be wrong...

If that's the case, go K

Ive been always advised k20 over h22. lighter engine and better fuel economy give better overall "performance" and driveability as it were..but best to weigh up the price diference...as you are not talking about 1k here...
