Xx-RoMz-xX · 03-24-2009, 01:01 AM

well i got 95 civic si and it has a peice of shit D16z6 engine.
and i was thinking of swapping it with a h22a engine is that a good engine then the b series?
cuz my budget is the right price for it right now, but i can save up for more if the b series engines are way better. i just need an engine that can pull my heavy ass lol im 220 lb, just need a feedback if the h22a is worth the price for the swap and the Torque to pull my heavy ass haha, also
im looking for any aftermarket catback exhaust new/used 2 1/2" or higher and a JDM type R front lipkit if u people got any plz send me a pic and price thanks alot.
and heres the url of the H22A engine

H22a is a good engine but its all depends with your plan. you want to go fully N/A or do you want to go turbo after?

if your looking for torque then get the type r engine. this swap can pull your heavy ass for sure.

yah people been saying h22a is not a good engine to turbo and stay n/a but ive been watching in youtube alot of people been turboing there h22a engine, but yah i do want to turbo my car.
and the type R engine is a beast engine but way over my budget that engine is at least around 4500$ doubled the price of the h22a. :D

Just get B16a2 its only $200 different. :D

Buddy of mine had a boosted b16a2 and it worked out pretty well.

I don't mess with turbo though. So don't really know much about it except little things here and there. :roll:

get a gsr then boost it... better head flow and more torque than b16a

If you do an LS/VTEC, make sure to do it properly if you want it to last. 8-)

well thanks guys for ur suggestions, im deciding on H22a & B16a2 and im gnna stay n/a not gnna turbo after. So which one is better from those 2 engines to stay n/a? :?

JaysonR · 03-26-2009, 05:14 PM

i would say B16a2 is your best bet, better torque to full your ass. :) just add intake, catback exhaust, and a headers if you have a stock one. 8-)

good... this way your engine will have life longer. ;)

ken.bryle21 · 03-27-2009, 12:26 AM

for n/a route ... im still gonna still gonna say go for gsr... only 200-400 more and you'll have more torque and beter displacement

penn_wu · 03-27-2009, 01:27 AM

well thats his decision. im just trying to give my opinion to what he ask. b16a2 or either h22a :roll:

Xx-RoMz-xX · 03-30-2009, 04:05 PM

well what about this option a b20 engine with a GSR tranny will that work together
or is there any other trannys thats suited with the b20 engine.
I researched it and i still need more explaination cuz the b20 has alot of torque and way cheaper for the budget.
