Default which is the best motor for my 1993 eg hatch

I want to put a new motor in my car but i cant decide on which swap to do. I can go with either a B16a, B18a1, B18c5, B20, K24, or even just the single cam. And im probably gonna go with a gsr tranny. I have been debating on this for awhile. If i go B18 should I run vtech? I would like to make at least 300whp. Someone give me some advice!!!

You should go try the Kia message boards, I don't think you're ready for Honda. First of all, the engines you listed vary in price from about $500 to about $7-8000. You should probably do some research instead of just asking for "advice" on how much money you should spend.

I'm not sure why you want to use a gsr transmission, but if that's the only thing you know for sure, then you need to buy a b series engine. You can't use the gsr tranny unless it's used with a b-motor.

You clearly have not been debating on anything, you have no idea what you're talking about.

You want to make 300hp? Join the club. Might as well build your d15 for boost.

it all depends on your preference. and money too. kswaps are hella expensive. most b16 swaps are under 2gs complete. b18 swaps are like 3gs. and k is more than both combined. lol. do a G23 (H23 block, H22 Head, K20 internals) its rare.

g23 sounds sick! I've never heard of that. Is it a simple assembly? Or do you have to bore, line hone or what?

What's your budget? What will you do with the car? Drag Race, Auto X, weekend driver or DD?

ull blow that turbo before u blow that motor built. you should check up on turbod16. i think the highest trap on the 57trim ebay turbo was somewhere near 130mph in the quarter.
