You can find out quite a bit by reading the thread at the top (the H22 thread and the "Before you ask anythng" thread). After reading that, fire away with the questions. Just letting you know since so many people ask the same thing without reading and then wonder why no one answers them.

Search for info on:

b20a
b16a
b18c
h22a

these seem to be the most discussed swaps

ok, now that ive read about some of the engines, the B20 and the B18A interests me. If i get a B20, then i will also have to get extra parts. If i get a B18, then i dont need much besides the engine. I was wondering if you guys could recommend any places that i could find these engines. I will look, but i just want a good deal and what not. thanks

Which B18 are you refering to?

JDM Accord/Vigor CA-2 B18A
Integra 90-93 B18A1
Integra 94+ B18B1
Integra GS-R B18C1
Integra Type-R B18C5?

It's important to know that if you want to get the correct information.

This engine is the same as the B20A but it has dual carbs. The smae hardware will be required to install both in your car.

I do not know the kind of carbs usedin this engine (could be the same as the B20A from the Prelude BA4)

These engines are quite rare to come by. In fact, I've never seen one myself and I've seen 4 different B20A...

however, ask any engine importer for the B18A, he might be able to help you.

The B18A is a great engine and I think it has alot of potential in the high revs compared to the B20A.

which engines are you talking about?

The only that will fit without a mount kit are the B18A and B20A.

the integra engines will fit with a mount kit made by Placeracing, Check the FAQ for more Info.

They are great engines to work with
