itr bro what else would you choose? what are your intentions for this motor? you want it to be a reliable DD turbo or N/A...the ITR mildly modified can be very reliable and at the same it will satisfied your needs...

Well, if you had a green, blue, or black '92 Civic hatch, I'd have told you to get a K20Z1; since you have a red Civic hatch though, you should probably go with the D15B6.

I marked ITR. Though if you put GSR on the list I would have checked that. Dunno how you put a motor like the F20 up there for consideration but not the GSR...weird ****...

no offense, but why would you want to put an OBD2 engine in your OBD1 car? The h22a type S is an OBD2 engine...

and why don't you make a decision on how much you have to spend, which is going to be the easiest, and your ultimate goal with the car. The B series are going to be the easiest out of the selections you have. The f20b and the h22a are going to be more difficult, requiring special mounts, and also cutting a hole in your car for the shift cable assembly b/c the h and f series engines use cables to shift...

Why not LS swap??
Parts readily available, lots of potential or great as is. Easily pass smog if necessary.

There definately isn't a HUGE thread that I spent hours making about this at the top of the forum.
