the biggest question is how much you wana spend. type rs arent cheap, the cheapest way to go is build the b16

if you already got the b16 leave it there, if not put you can always go ls-vtec or go ls and boost it or squeez on it.

I'd stay with what you have. build it or boost it. it seems to me the b16 does the best for boost. maybe not the longest lasting boosted but get higher numbers. or if you wanna stay n/a and change things, get a b20, then put your head and other parts on it with ab ls vtec kit. it'll put the torque your missing under your hood. you'll miss the higher redline tho.

Either get a GS-R Block or a B20 Block and do some minor work to them. Pistons/Rods/Rebuild/Cams.. Faster than a type R, less moola!

GSR's are pretty nice. B20-VTEC's are mad sick. Either one would be gangstah.
