Default BEST (or fastest) swap for a del sol

hey what is the BEST possible swap i can put in my sol. i really know nothing about engines so im learning as i go. but theres so many choices. i dont know which way to go. at first it was just... oh. go b-16. but then it was like... ok just turbo the D series. BUT then. it was turbo a B series.. lol. THEN i was thinkin H-22. cuz i heard it'll be fast as ***. BUT as i was watching this dvd on the type R brothers. i was interested in the civic type R motor. but a guy that works at ultimate motorsports told me that the civic type R engine has no tourqe . and to go with the integra R. ala B18c. motor. BUT its freakin 5 grand for the full swap. and some other people were sayin just get a b 16 and do some **** to it and it will be better. so im so confused with all these choices. i just want everyones opinion here on what i should get that will go fast. or pull hard or what ever its called. and for not TOO much money. so leave ur input. should be a geat post.

k20a swap, responds extremely well to bolt-ons and has 220 at the crank stock, put that in a lightweight car and it'll haul ***

edit: read not alot of money, uhh then go with a lsvtec and boost it 300whp

Hell Ya

B16 reppin

But to answer your question
B16, Type R, GSR with Skunk 2 manifold
would be the easiest swap.

I can do a complete motor swap in about 7-8 hours with just 1 friend.

agreed, rather do it once and have everything clean and done right than a hack job and end up redoing everything
