I agree that you should get a b18b. You have good Hp and Tq from that engine stock. If your 95 is an Ex then it will be a almost 20 hp gain and if you have a lesser engine it would be even more. Plus the the Tq increase will be what you really feel .

go for the b16. the h22 is more powerful, but you would really hate the understeer it has. too much weight in the front and to little weight in the back will make the ride feel like sh**.

D16Z6 or D16Y8. Cheaper and still damn good. B series are getting expensive.

Ummm why are we still perpetuating the H22 as a monster? The difference between it and a B series is negligable. Mount the battery somewhere else and get a CF hood and you'll be lighter than a B series swap. Here are some hard numbers:

Always a good idea: An Optima battery in the trunk on the passenger side is a good way to shift weight to the lightest spot in the car. You'll want an Optima battery because they don't leak, nobody wants the inside of the car filled with battery fumes. Just a suggestion for anybody who takes umop-apisdn's advice, or for people wanting a little more weight in the back.

:edit: That link is very informative, thanks. H22A rocks even more in my book.

i have done 3 h22 swaps in my own cars, along with a plethera of other swaps
and i must admit, theres just nothing that feels the same!!!
anyone who screams about the added weight, usually is just spouting off something they
read somewhere. the weight doesnt matter! relocate your battery
add some subs. get a fatter girlfriend!
its worth it!
just my .02
