RE: Honda Engines

if you have a large sum of money, then a k20 swap would be the best, low budget b16. if you are in the middle somewhere (3kish) then a b18c is the best way to go, tons of torque, plenty of horse, and all for bout 1/3rd of a k20 installed. H22's are nice for power but they are extremely heavy for eg/ef/ek and leave very little room under the hood. I have a b18c in a 97 civic and it moves well, add a turbo and you have yourself a 12 second ride running very little boost
