Default Del Sol engine swap...

What would be a better engine to put into a Del Sol, a Type R or an H22A4? Or should I just save myself some money and put in a B16?

if youre going straight = h22a
if youre going slalom ( daily driver ) = type R
h22a about $3300 + type R above $5k
b16a about $3300
you decide - try sohfast.com

i wouldnt go w/ an h series in a sol. youd have to mod the hell out of the suspension, and peeps that have done it have lost power steering and ac, so if you need the ac and power steering, i wouldnt go for that swap. b series swap will suit you better. you should go ls/turbo instead of the type r motorswap, will cost around the same, or go b16a turbo. atleast that is what i'd do.
