So looking at these specs (http://www.streettuners.com/curve/engine/engine_specs.html#integra) comparing the most powerful H22A (99-01 H22A2 5G - BB6 2157 10.0 : 1 200 @
7000 rpm 156 lb/ft@
5250 rpm USA/97 + type S H22A 5G - BB 2157 11.0 : 1 220 @
7200 rpm 163 lb/ft @
6500 rpm Japan) and the most powerful B18C5 (97-98
2000 type R B18C5 3G - DC 1797 10.6 : 1 195 @
8000 rpm 130 lb/ft @
7500 rpm USA/95-00 type R B18C5 3G - DC 1797 11.0 : 1 197 @
8000 rpm 134 lb/ft @
7500 rpm Japan) and comparing prices for available swap packages for the two, why is the integra motor so great and so popular anyway? i'm not here to bash the b-series fans or hype up the h-series guys, and please forgive me if this ends up being another pointless, should-have-never-been-created threads with all the bias and stupid argues. i was just wondering about the strengths and weaknesses of the two motors because i was seriously considering a B18C5 swap, but after looking at the numbers (which somehow i had never noticed before now) it seems like the H22A would be so much of a better choice that the B18C5 swap seems pointless. So if i can get some mature posts from some real swap experiences and knowledge to shed some light on a topic that i'm sure is of heavy debate then that would be greatly appreciated. If not and this thread quickly goes to hell in a handbag, mods don't hesitate to close it out. Thanks everyone in advance.
