I have a 95 integra GSR. I hate this car but on the other hand i have a lot of stuff done to it. Problem I have had 3 rebuilds on this motor the last 2500 miles. So do i do it again at another machine shop, or do i get rid of the motor all together and to a prelude v-tec and live happily ever after??? Need some input please

U know my input on h22’s its not a bad fit but its not reeally worth it, u can make every bit of power with a b series as u can with an H. Id do a K if you wanna stay all motor but thats my .02 h22 trannys suck h22 dont take abuse like a b series does

i feel the same way, B series parts are more plentyful and you pretty much know what combination works because its been done. the after market for the H series motor is a little weak compared to the B motors, and until you buy a good motor mount kit(hasport) so the motor sits in the engine bay straight and you dont go through axles every week, then theres the wireing half of it. money saved on wireing and motor mount kits you can get some nice upgrades stuff for the B series motor.K series is the way to go for all motor but the prices are outragous, for what they want for a K swap you can go almost with a turbo B motor.

darkstar- turbo type R 271tq  
dodge viper 525tq  
but yet the type R got the viper out of the hole and proceeded to lay down a 5 car win. torque ownz? i guess so :dunno:

sorry but I am a firm believer that if it isn’t vtec from the factory it should stay that way. all the B20/vtecs I have seen have broken locally. the sleeves are weak, no oil squirters, poor rod/stroke ratio, and last but not least they can’t be reved

Thanks for the input. I think i’m going ot try my luck at prelude v-tec. So therefore i have a hole swap to part out. The motor was built totally N/A. thanks

oil squirters are overrated, rod/stroke can be corrected with the right stuff to make is rev like a gsr…they say b20s are not all created equal about the sleeves being week so its a toss up there
