Hey wuts up man, u can go with a b-seiers engine..those r nice!..thas wut im gettin for car!...you can go with a B18c1(GSR) which is good to turbo out!....but if u wanna go with something with high compression but has for HP. b18c5(type-r). or if u wanna spend some money u can go with a K20(RSX) which is gonna cost u alot more than jus doin a regualr b-series swap!

Best bang for the buck in my opinion is a b18b, then turbo. You can do it for about the same price as a gsr swap. Can easily get you into the 225-250whp range for about $3500.

would it just be cheaper to get a integra gsr engine from a junk yard or would that be a bad idea...
