the h22 will be a little bit cheaper than the b18c5. But when if you do the h22, you will need to buy new motor mounts ($600), Have custom axels made because all the torque and hp of the h22 will snap the ones you have now. You will lose powersterring and your A/C, if you throw extra money in then you can keep one or the other. the h22 is considerbly heavier, so you will need to upgrade you suspension to have any kind of decent handling, and trying to get rid of the understeer.

I was thinking about the same swap myself. And i will be doing the b18c swap, because i will be driving the car all the time on the road. I decided to just do a b18 and then later use forced induction.
