Debating which motor to go with.
Ok so I was lookin around and found an H22A for sale for about a thousand less than the B18C i was looking at...
I am wondering what the major differences are, aside from horsepower and torque, and why one would be better than the other.
Please give me your honest opinions and any facts you might have.. I want to buy the best motor I can buy for the money, and really dont have any experience with honda motors.
If you could consider the difficulty in installation that would be helpful, as I will be installing whatever engine I chose.
Also I plan to turbo this thing and have decided to go for about 300 hp as a target.

The H22A cylinder walls are too thin/weak to support as much boost as it will take to make 300whp without sleeving the block. You can do it without sleeving, but eventually you are going to get piston slap.
For this reason, I say go with the B18C (ITR)
