Sure. SEARCH. Noobs post similar threads atleast 5-10 times per day.

We don't know which swap is better for you, because we don't know what you want to use the car for, or how much power you are trying to achieve, how much money you have, etc. etc.

If you lack technical knowledge, stay away from frankenstein setups like b20-v, and also any turbo setups. Stick with a straight swap that won't be a huge issue for you down the road.

well, it's not like i'm a noob or anything, it may have sounded like that but its not, i just have all these motors and i'm finding it hard to pick one to go with, just woundering what everyone thoughts were thats it. i have a rough idea of what power and what not i want and know the pros adn cons to each one. just wondering thats it!

It's really best that you do your own research and base your decision off of that instead of getting others to say why THEY like different engines.

Let's start off with a category, PICK ONE.

You CANNOT throw an all motor B16A in the same category as a BOOSTED H23/VTEC.

HP Goals, wallet, and EXP??

^^^ These should always be stated when asking for advice as to what motor to choose for *blank* car. Maybe a forum rule should be implemented and any new member/poster who chooses to ignore it should lose % just like every other forum.
