it is a little pricey but worth it because it has an lsd( which is always good if u race)
some that will be cheaper but still good are the b18c1, b16b, and b16a

If you're going for a turbo engine, I would go with a B18C1 (GSR) engine. It has a lower CR, so it won't require as serious of a reduction to adapt for the turbo. Basically, the only advantage the Type R engine (B18C5) has over the C1 (if you're planning to add a turbo) is the stock LSD. I wouldn't even consider a B16 for turbo applications (unless you plan to tear it down to a drag strip car). Plus, you'll probably save enough on the cost difference between the C5 and the C1 to pay for a turbo kit. Bottom line: Go for a GSR engine. You can always add an LSD later.

ummm, 92 hp if i remember correctly. get a 16v. even a d15b7 would be a big improvement. and a 16v will take to mods better than the 8. and you should be able to get a b7 for damn near free, then get an ex tranny and throw it all in there at the same time. it will make a huge difference in your car.
