Hey everybody,
I have a 99 civic SI, and want to swap out the engine for one that's compatable with more then 8lbs of boost, so here's the question.
Should I get a B18C or an H22A, obviously the H22A will be more expensive all around, which is a concern but not a problem if it will yield a gain comparable to the price. Also, what kind of tranny should I use for a turbocharged b18c/h22a (as far as spooling is concerned)? And should I use a thicker head gasket, aftermarket pistons, or both?
