between those 2 h22 but i say go with b18c1 GSR

 

Yeah, depending on your funds & whether you like to rev your car around 8000 rpm or higher go with the B16A or B18C1. The whole B16 swap would cost around 3K$ & B18C1's around 4-4.5 $$. Weight also for every day driving. Torque is more in the H22 but, their's more tuning options with a B series than H & reliabilty more also. B18A's only have 130hp 90-93 Teg's, B18B's 142 hp 94-01's they only redline to 6800 rpm. More torque. B16A1's 160 hp 8200 rpm, B18C1's 8000 rpm, B18C5 8500(Type R InTegra), B16B 8900 rpm.

There are too many variables to get into a whp discussion (some transmissions and suspensions have more driveline loss than others) so sticking to crank hp only. A bone stock h22a type S has 220hp. Individual throttle bodies, headers, reprogrammed ecu or vafc2, and tuned cam gears would net about 260chp. Remove the balance shaft belt and (since we are talking about out of the car engine dyno) all of the accessories (ps, ac, alt) should net you a good 10 or 15hp more. That’s at least 270 and the engine is still internally stock.

So as far as my statement being ignorant you need to READ AND UNDERSTAND not just read. EVEN IF my estimates are off and it only has 250 or 260 that’s still right up there with them, which means just that UP THERE WITH THEM. NOT necessarily higher.

 

a lot of the things you just listed arent just bolt ons.

 

like? you dont have to pull the head, oil pan, or engine to do any of that. Even if you left the cam gears off (so that you didnt have to take off the valve cover which would have to come off anyway if you were doing a timing belt and water pump at the time of the swap)they dont add that much hp. i was refering to things that you would do before you put the engine in the car. Changing the intake manifold would be a bitch if done while in the car.
