The Type-R is a great engine, but unless you have a great hookup on the motor they're pricey (to start out with). So here's the advice portion of my reply (see below).

First off, buy a cheap B16a (SIRI/SIRII) or B18c (GSR) and get it sleeved (GE/RS Machine and Benson) are the way to go.

While the motor is out being sleeved, send the head to get ported and built right (valves/springs/retainers) (Portflow and Headgames are top notch). Ask HEAD on (H-T) for advice, all he does is heads and knows his ****.

Depending on your HP/TQ desires, pistons and rods could be in the mix as well. Pauter/Saenz or Eagle are all quality and worth a look.

Motor wise: Replace all gaskets bearings and such and you'll be good (OEM is good).
