Default Best Swap for a EG

I was thinking either LS-Turbo, LS-VTEC, or GS-R, what would be the cheapest? fastest? most reliable?

thanks

Each engine has its repsective merits.....


The LS/VTEC is a torque monster for B series, but I think it has rod/stroke issues or something.

LS turbo is nice if you can afford the money.

GS-R is probably the best swap for the money torque and power wise, all around, unless you can afford to drop the extra $1500 on a Type R

Whatever you decide to do..it's not going to be cheap. I think the b18c1 is a great overall motor to begin with. That's what I did, and am totally satisfied.
