The GSR motor is great for turbo, but I really like the b18c5. great power, vtec is insane. but i am sure everyone will have their opinions.

they all have their pros and cons... some are better at some things than others are and so on... just figure out what your goals for the car are first then decide which one suits you best... searching is your friend

Re: what is the best b-series motor? (trannyxpert)
the answer would be no... your question is too broad though... you really need to search... you will find out alot more doing that than you will get knowledgable responses here

I'll take D16 VTECs over a B16 every time. The only B-series motors I'd buy (within a normal budget) are the B18B and B18C1. I'd get a D16Z6 with ARP head studs for a CRX and turbocharge it to 8psi. Tune with Hondata or Uberdata/Crome and you have a little street terror that runs consistant high 13's.
