Some people like the underdog though man, I for one think a B series swap is a waist when if your willing to get your hands dirty a H22 can be put in for the same cost as your average B18C swap and have ITR power with TQ that laughs at B series swaps built or not

 

yeah, but in my case, i would rather get the power out of a b series with bolt ons, because then i can avoid that front end push from the overweight engine when im autocrossing, but i blew up my d series, and i needed a new motor, so i got the b series so that i could still have the drag racing potential, as well as good balance for autocross. its more of an all around motor than the H or the D. dead stock its good for both drags and auto-x, and its even fast enough to take to the nearby road courses. and a few bolt-ons should put me right about where i want to be without sacrificing the DD aspect of it. and if i decide to go all out and turbo this motor, it will handle a lot more abuse than an H22, and has a little more aftermarket support.

 

The H series has just as much aftermarket support as the B series. What exactly is made for a B series that is not made for a H??????

As far as weight, the H series adds 50 to 65 more lbs to a car than a B series all on the front end, relocate your battery to the rear, carbon fiber hood. and 1 counter weight, go to a scale and place the counter weight where it is needed tack weld it and get 50/50 weight distro. All motor the H series can kill any all motor B series out there and if you doubt it then you need to do some research. The B18C5 is by far the best B series out there being fallowed very close by the B20 IMO and you stroke a B18C5 or a B20 and you will get around 2.1 liter displacement max on the street. With the H22 you can push upwards to 2.6 to 2.9 liter displacement and still drive it on the street with a up to par cooling system.

 

hey check out my post about the new d series engine and pls. give me your advice

 

good discussion, i'm just trying to show mainly new people that you can start out small, build up your knowledge of your car, and spend less money now. Then upgrade if you're not happy with your current d. You could always upgrade to H,F, B, or just boost or turbo your d later. Seems like whenever a new person comes in....they all think b-series. I have nothing against a b, i just think that d's are too overlooked. You can turbo a d and run 13s (wouldnt be cheap, but neither would running 13s with a b)...good discussion

 

if i ever did upgrade to b id go b18 or b20

 

bizzump

 

id go b18 any day. im stroking the bitch to 2.2 anyway.

 

do they make stroker kits for D?

 

i dont think so...JUN might...but i kinda doubt it
