Well, between just the K20 and the C5, it really depends on how much money you have. Generally, the Type R would be a better idea, simply because it would be soooo much easier and cheaper. But it's going to take some cash to get either engine into the low 12s/high 11s without FI... just so you know...

The easiest/cheapest low-12-second solution would be a GSR swap with a B16A head, minor internal revamp, LSD, and a nice T3/T04B... Or maybe a Spoon C1.

For the price of an installed K-series, you could have a GSR put in, buy a B16 head, and build a turbo setup.

T3/T04B is a specific turbine/compressor combination, and a Spoon C1 is just a GSR engine built by Spoon.

t3/t04b is a turbo, and a Spoon C1 means a built (race car) b18c1 engine. its built by a company called Spoon, who is generally known of as the Honda gurus. thats all they do.
