Default So It's Decided....

Yes, I know my name is ProjectH and I have that B-hating quote in my sig, but after 6 months of research, I've decided to get a B18C1, not an H22A (ya it took me that long to figure that out haha). Ya the H is cheaper and more powerful, but the B18C1 is easier to drop in the car (94 DX Coupe) and doesnt have crazy amounts of torque. Plus, I really, really, really wanna turbo my car and I've heard so many mixed results on the idea of boosting an H22A. Anyway, I'm starting to buy parts for the engine, it's going to be built without sleeves. So, I'm going to take out that B-hating comment and put in a parts list that should grow till summer. Ok, so the B18C1 it is!

So I guess I'll be asking lots of B questions now...

aw, even tho your not going with the h, the b is still a great motor to build, and will yeild the same results in the end, and the smaller packaging helps too. gl on the swap man.
