Engine Swap, B18C vs H22A?
It's crunch time for me. I have to decide between a B18C or a H22 swap into my civic. I'm dead sick of the D16 that's in it at the moment.
Now, I thought I'd better outlay my 'needs' so you can gauge what I'm after. Basically I want a quick car that can be my daily drive. I want to be able to turn corners (heard it becomes a problem with the H22? I will be upgrading suspension eventually though), I'm not going to be doing street racing, but taking it to the strip dyno and getting times and stats would be an option. Here's probably the most important bit: I am going to turbocharge the engine.
I think a lot of people will say B18C, although I'm definitely leaning towards the H22. I just really need to know how bad it makes the handling. The engine is a bit cheaper, and they're known to pull pretty impressive numbers, so it's definitely got me at this stage.
Help would be much appreciated. Cheeeeerrrssss.
