The C1 obivously is the cheapest. The C1 and C5 are going to take the same installation procedure, and the H22 is just crazy mad tite fatty vtec-rida skillz.

How about you decide?

you should go with the ZC engine.


but if you really want a b series go with a c1. <---for the money
c5 <---- for the cool points or a b16 <---for a cheap price

or do what i did and go ls vtec

It would be cheapest and easiest to go for a ZC, a 1st gen B16A, or a B18A1.

it depends what you want to do with your car.

h22a is heavy as hell and it will drastically affect your turning radius

b18c5 is the **** and it works well on all tracks

b18c1 is a good engine for the price and also holds great potential for any track

decide what you want it for and check your wallet
