Default Which Motor Is Best 4 Me

I just recently shot a rod so im droping my old motor and tranny as we speak... Im been looking around for new motors online and I just wanted to know which motor out the H or B series is best... My plans are to fully build the motor

I have been leaning towards the B18c5 would this be a wise choice or is there anything better?

how the **** did you throw a rod lol. dude get a h22 that would be so sick but it would also be a tricky installment. how bout you just a a b20 block and slap a GSR head on there and bam you got it.

You can't just "slap" together an ls/vtec.

I didnt throw a rod... I streched it and it hit the bottom of what holds the oil sumpthen knocked a holeout the cylinder and then a piece busted out threw the front of the block... but im buying a whole motor with tranny offline and i wanted to know what would be best to buy for hp and what could take more stress cause i drive hard and this is gonna be a daily driven car... i wanted to go with a h22 but i heard the gsr's are much better...

I say if it's in your budget, go for the ITR swap. That's what I'm saving for as we speak!

CTR came with B18b not the B18c5, the B18c5 IS the ITR motor
