What can you afford? If money isn't an issue, get a GSR or ITR motor. You won't have to worry about mounts like the H22, and wiring should be pretty easy. If you are on a budget, get a LS motor. My 2 pennies.

Any B-series engine that is 1.8 liters or more...would be a good investment.

You have to make up for the extra weight of the EK so I say B18C1, *B18C5, or LSVTEC. I have an 98 EK with a B20VTEC it would be my pick anyday.

If you've got some $, then get a B18C1 or C5 if you want a super easy bolt-in install. If you don't have that much, go with a B20B/Z or B18B1. The H22A is a good option if you're up for more of a challange - well worth it I wouldn't consider a B16
