TLontheDL Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm not engine savy but IF both engines have the same power, as you stated, then id go with the b18c5 b/c its a smaller engine. the b18c5 would save you more gas than the h22a. Last I heard, prelude engine swaps into a civic looses the A/C option. You'll probably get more responses in the engine dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 you lose the a/c option in the c5 as well. I havent heard of a b-series swap without losing the a/c unless it was in a vtec sol, or si civic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 B swaps for civics are easier in general and the aftermarket, though sizeable for both, is prolly bigger for the C5. Both nice engines, I'd just go with the B18C5 for simplicity. Edit: Yay for no AC and PS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, u dont HAVE to lose your a/c option at all while putting an H22a in your civic. Alls you do is use your stock d-series condensor or b-series condensor and You'll have to buy a adapter bracket. HCP engineering makes a bracket. Don't remember how much, but its not bad. I had one and it worked good. Its just the lines that are annoying. Totally possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
