RE: what type is better?? (ur opinion)
dam cause i have an auto and wana manual swap it as well but i wasnt sure if i buy the engine with the manual trany wht else i would need to go with it. cause right now i can hear and feel my trany struggling to shift from R to D4 so if i cant get the engine thn ill just manual swap it first. also would the turbo for the B18C1 work with a D series?

You'll need manual tranny mounts and shift linkage, and I might be wrong but I think you'll need a different ecu as well. And yes the turbo will swap from a b series to a d series but the manifold will not.

ok the manifold i would have guessed but thts great everything else would. the manual swap i think ill just go to a junk yard and see if they have a civic with a manual trany to get the parts from.

my opinion on a swap is get a dirt cheap d16z6 or y8 (depending on what gen car your driving) and rebuild it with new forged pistons and rods. then get the head resurfaced and a good valve job and cleaning and re assemble it, then turbo and tune it. it would cost about the same to do this than a stock b series swap, b16's are going for around 1600-2000 dollars for everything you need, then you have an engine with no torque but about 140 whp, or turbo d and 220 hp easy on stock internals with a good tune and have torque.
