and in there is one swap that says, IMO THE BEST SWAP FOR A CIVIC. look for those words and think about the pro's and con's as written about for each engine.

I would personally go with F20B/H2B setup... OR if under budget, I'd get a B16/B18C/1/5 head and slap it on.
That's just me tho.. Look and ask around more, get ideas and do what YOU want to do.

Re: (00b20vtecoupe)
I have a b20bvtec with gsr head and I like it, nice torque and power but if you have the money go k. K series are the future man. A lot of people have b series and what not but k series are somewhat seen less often. Idk if it was me, and I had the money id go k or f20/h2b

LOL hehe anyway we will see if there is a "k-killer" motor when im done that can show around the bay....

Re: ok so ive looked and need some more help.... (zacatkings)
It might just be me but i think you already have a good foundation for power, instead of trying to buy a new motor, why not spend the cash on some upgrades there's so much that can be done to that b20, cams,springs,headporting,more compression and BOOST (just to name a few).
