Default Can't makeup my mind, help me: B20/vtec or usdm b18c5

Which one of these engine would you choose? Going into a 92 civic. Im kinda leaning more towards the R simply because of relability issues.

Also i plan on doing just the basic bolt-ons and mayybe a small shot of nitrious down the road. Not going all out with this motor.

I'd go with the B18C5. It's been tried and tested. It works well.

I would definitely go with an ITR motor. B20/VTEC is a very nice motor, but no where close to reliable as a factory Honda motor.

HTH.
