Default MotoR SwaP???

So basically im new to the forums and today happened to be one of my lucky days I was on the highway speeding and cutting ppl off as always until...? WTF...i cant give it anymore gas...well hazards go on and i go to the right side of the highway...mmmm! smell that dead engine lol yea i totally killed it...but anyways beside that great beautiful story. what happened today opens up doors to a new engine....something faster? i was thinkin about getting a B18? integra type R motor but...is there anything better? i think the civic i have is a 95? if im not mistaken havent had it for that long so yea... but also beside the motor i wanna get some more advice on how i can maybe supe it up...?

Money wise...maybe 1-4,000... Daily driver...and i want to boost it to...probably swap the engine first though and then boost it in the future... but what kind of motor can i get..i want it to be fast...i hate speeding by ppl and then 2 seconds later theyr ahead of me lmao without even trying or stepping on it..

What are your goals for the car? You just looking for something quick and more fun to drive or are you planning on any track time with the car. I take it your car is a 4 door?

Best bet for the money IMO would be a H22A swap if a shop is going to do the swap for you. If you plan on doing it a B18C1 GSR swap is a good place to start
