dont know about an h22 but i have a jdm b18c motor and its a blast to drive. if the h22 is faster then i think you will be happy with both. (i love the 8000 + rpm redline in my b18c). on a side note is the h22 faster then the gsr from a slight roll, say like 25 mph???
the h22 is more powerful then a b18c from any roll, i had a jdm b18c in my hatch before my h22, and i never regret going the h series path, more hp, more torque, better power delivery at any point in the rpm band, and h22 engines are highly detuned from the factory, adding a neptune obd1 ecu and tuning can net you as much as 40 midrange hp at the wheels, and 10 on the top end also. when i had my h22a4 in my 97 prelude converted to obd1 with neptune and tuned, i got 38 whp in the midrange and 10whp on the top end, and vtec was set to turn on at 4,500 rpm. no gsr with tuning is gonna net that kind of power
