h22 v.s. b18

I’ve done at least 8-9 h22 swaps and have never once said that.

The H has been proven to be 35lbs heavier, not enough to add one percent to the weight balance. The H will pull out of corners much better, require less down shifting and still rev in stock form.

The only thing that really does suck is its aluminum sleeves, but even so people have proved to make very big hp on stock bottom ends. If you are going to build a big enough hp motor to need to sleeve a B, then just sleeve the H and have .4 more liter.

…I understand I’ll never win, i just have a problem liking what people hate :embarassd

Given the type of driving you do, I’ll say this: 35-50lbs (estimated full swap difference between b and h) is a HUGE deal. Aside from rotating weight, there isn’t a WORSE area to add weight in a Honda (over the nose, in an already chronically understeering chassis). It may be minor to some, but not to everyone. Not trying to argue…
