hey i think that u should be a little more specific on the type r...i mean is it an integra, civic, or NSX??.....but if ur going for an honda engine definately ur better off with the h22 that has a peak of 190-220hp...under the hood u carry 220...but on the street ur only pushing the 190!..with the type r for civics...197 is ur peak hp....hope i helped

As far as the buildup of the motor, my Prelude H22 has a cast aluminum oil pan, which stiffens the block, and carbon fiber cylinder liners, but both have oil cooled pistons, they are both very durable motors, I have 151k and it's still "tight".

Both engines are pretty solid and you can they're excellent if you're a boosthead. The H22 is powerful and you can do a lot with it as well as the Type R engines, but the Type R engines rev a lot higher to like about 10,000 rpm and you can really put the horsepower to work there. They are also excellent as well, but hard to find. I would go for the Type R...it has a lot of potential, and not everyone has one.

Have you thought about an H23? The type r motor is going to run you a little more and is harder to find than an h22.

Depends on a lot of things. H22 is high torque but not built as 'bulletproof' from the factory. Type R's have great gears and high rev fun. I would go for the type R swap. You get more for your money than an H22. Plus I don't like to hack up the cars by installing all the stuff needed to facilitate a H series motor.KC
