Default help!!! need advice on engines!

im looking at getting a good performance motor, i was originally thinking spoon, but thats just too expensive, so i decided to start looking at some b16a motors, does anyone have any suggestions on a good motor thats gonna be reliable enough and not need much internal work right off the bat but still puts you into your seat, also one that would preferably accept a 6-spd manual, id like to stay away from k-series motors, but im open to anything =P please Pm
