b20-Accord? hmm. Interesting.

It depends what you want out of the car.


straight line? cone dodging?
Planning on turbo? N/A? Everyone is going to have different answers for different reasons. Different set ups for different uses.

You seem to really want to do what's most popular (judging by your last 2 posts).

Many will say K series.
Many will say b18c/a
Many will say b16.
Many will say h22.

I'd go H22,myself.
It will vary on your budget, what's available and what you plan on doing with it.

GSR, from that list. Just personal preference, and I'm sure it's a lot more reliable than an LS/VTEC would be.

I have the B16A2 turbo and i love it, its mad power ecspecially when Vtec kicks in with turbo at the same time men its lots of fun, it throws you back in the seat and then you say whoooooo weeeeeeee, lol..... its fun and reliable. Its my Daily Driver with A/C powersteering and cruise control.......no problems at all works great......

GSR swap is my fav. Painless and plenty of options.
