Which do YOU want to do? Also think of what kind of racing you want to do. I'd chose b18c1 because whatever you decide to do, it can do it.

if its just for street and to have fun with..Look into an H22 or maybe a Type R..

Don't get me wrong, a B18C1 will be great too....

I would go with the B18C1 with a little boost. The sound of a bov is just awesome.

My b18c1 and $1200 of engine work and internals makes me very happy day to day.

All motor is the way to go, but don't think it will be easy, it's a science, not a math problem.

It takes a lot of work to do.

ANd these posts are really starting to suck, ugh, is there a good message board anywhere?

Do a search and type in:

D16Z6
B16A
B16B
B16A2
B16A3
B17A
B18C
B18C1
B18C5
LS/VTEC
B20/VTEC
H22A

And be sure to look under "recent topics" and also "archived topics" for each one.

READ a lot and learn a lot. You won't find the answer by posting up yet another "what engine should I get" topic because you'll get more "do a search!" replies than anything.
