Yes....the QSD H22 2 B series trans adapter kit has seperate plates/mounts that will align with the stock mount B series locations...so when you convert your mounts to B series the QSD adapters will adapt to B series trans/mounts....they also make sure the axle alignment is near perfect which running an H series trans definitely DOES NOT...lots of broken axles with standard H22 swap using special H22 mounts...they suck and people are never really happy with it
I think I would run the motor stock aside from i/h/e (Already have a cat back)
A stock Manual F20B setup wont be too bad....should be about 180-185whp...with a header and intake probably 195-205whp
I was thinking of a H22 or F series Tranny but this B series thing catches my eye because then I dont have to change to the cable shifter right? although cable shifters do seems pretty sweet (no more moving gear shifter)
Cables = GARBAGE --- no shift feel, sometimes the shift doesnt even happen (ask the prelude guys trying to shift at 9K rpm ) plus you have to cut the shifter tunnel to fit the cable linkage box...BOOOO cutting up the factory floorpan is BOOO....which is why when guys went H22 they just sold the car rather than rewelding the tunnel to mount B series shifter again
I dont care about Ac that much or power steering (add weight/steal power!)
Same here...although it would be wise to get a manual rack or build a resevior for the P/S fluid to work itself from one end to the other...keeps the rack lubed and you wont have to fight the fluid.
How do I wire up the Ecu's/make them work for my car? this is my biggest worry and whats making me hesitate about a motor swap Vs. turbo I am kind of intimidated by wiring
Wiring is very similar to a B series GSR motor...both the H22 and GSR have the butterfly intake manifolds....which is why I reccomended the RRC or RBC manifold....no butterflies to wire up and MORE POWER!!! lol
Also (Probably stupid again) What is H2B? Im guessing its just short for H series to B series or something
Nail on the head ---- H/F motor to B series trans/mounts....the cubes and power potential of the bigger block with the gearing advantage of the B series

While the most powerful stock swap is the J30/32 swap with a 6spd manual its still very very very rare so most people are still using the big 4cyls....both the K and the H heads FLOW but the newer K head has a few advantages that Honda learned from the H22 motors...the K will always make more low end/midrange power compared to the H motors but peak power should be similar...with the obvious advatage going to the K...BUT when you consider the costs involved...the H just makes alot more sense and the B series trans is the deal maker....cable trans = garbage....hydro trans = sickness!!!
Cable trans burn through synchros much quicker for some reason...newer manual cars are so sensitive...they get grinds very easily...tranny work isnt cheap so Id rather rock a solid shifting trans anyday of the week!
The best part of the H2B is when the motor sits straight up like a B series it looks like the HULK version of a B16 lol....
Oh with the EK you wont have to mod your hood for clearance either...at the most just prop the back up with a few washers
Oh and as well all know....H22's sounds so much deeper in VTEC ...just a bonus
