if your worried about the extra weight in the front why not relocate the battery to the back. and if its a street car you got the perfect excuse to put a stereo in there too. its not gonna be hard to cancel out the effects of an extra 20 kilos in the front. especially if your taking the battery out of there.
Go the H22a, Bseries engines are very popular and are more expensive. You should be able to pick up a H22a for alot cheaper then a b18c. And you can get lots of aftermarket parts for them... Plus you will get much more torque from a H then any factory B.
like i said... my vote for the H. had 2 friends Run H22s in civics and they were torque machines. Only problems i herd of was breaking CVs and make sure you get proper Hasport/Innovative Mounts (dont try modify your standard mounts).
PM Honda_B_Blastin... or do a search, he did a extensive writeup on his H22a EG conversion
Light up with Lyle - Electrical / Communications / Instrumentation
H22 in an eg is one of the best bang for your buck conversions these days,i love my b16 and i prefer driving it rather than a h22 because of the b16 revvvvvvv factor.
but if its outright power and torque your after,h22 is good value.depends if you want torque with power lower down (h22) or high end scream power (b series)
yeh i came aross a jdm h22a (type r) uknow the ones thats comes from the euro R at honbits they were selling it for 4k for the halfcut but if u asked just 4 the block it would proz be cheper
