H22a or Type R
#11
The B18C5 bolts in, the H22 requires new mounts and a new shift linkage plus some other stuff. However I would do neither of these swaps. For the price of a B18C5 you could get a B18C1 (GSR motor) and a bunch of n/a mods, or a turbo kit for your LS.

Why type R when h22a is same HP, More Torque, and a lot cheeper?

Did you look at the link the first time it was posted? There is quite a few modifications needed to put an h22 in an integra. A b18c5 is a direct swap.

I am also trying to decide whether to put a b18c5 or a h22a in my integra. I am leaning more towards the h22a because it would take more to put in (more impressive). It would be cheaper too. If you have the tools and know how, I would go with the h22a. More displacement, more potential for power.

does an integra still handle as well with the heavy h22 in it? to me it would seem like the weight distribution would be all messed up. but it doesnt really matter if your just going to drag race.

Theoretically speaking it's easier to put a type-R motor in there than a Prelude motor. However neither one is really worth the fuss because the Type-R motor is expensive and gives less power than similar options for that price, and the Prelude motor requires a bunch of extra work to get it to fit. The weight issue isn't really that big of a deal as it's made out to be but that's not really the primary concern.
