d16z6, b16a2, b18c1, b18c5, k24a, k2oa, there are so many choices. you'll have to decide what you want the car to be used for. i don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose

with you being new to honda swaps I would just go with a D16 SOHC VTEC, but later on go with a JDM B18c1, a GSR hatch will beat an S2000 from a 20 roll by about 2 cars and its damn near dead even from a stop, I just raced my first S2000 last nite, my hatch is a DX though so I am a slightly heavier. It was great untill the cops showed up.

the reason I say a D16 is because it will be the easiest.

B18C1. If you have deep pockets, splurge for a b18c. Thats what I'd do anyway. Or you could always go the ls/vtec route
