Default whats a better engine

Hey guys i cant decide between 3 engine swap packages, the B16A or the B18C type R or the B18C GSR OBD2..im kinda leaning toward the GSR because of the price 2 power ratio and i can always put mods on it to get to 200HP

b16 doesnt compare to those two. lol
if you have the cash, go type r, but GSR is a very worthy motor. w/ a lot of potential

if your going to build it then get the Gsr because its cheaper..
if your going to just drive it and make it reliable without any major upgrades then get the b18c type R
It doesnt make sense to build an expensive motor when you can invest that extra money in a cheaper motor.

If you dont have a lot of money and are out of a job, i think you should put your swap on hold for a little while. If nothing else, look at the less expensive options like an LS or LS/VTEC if you MUST swap
