what type of car do u have? i say go with a JDM b16a, JDM b16b or JDM B18C Type-R or the K20A. you can change you car to a manual, i think only on a EG though.

Fast as in how much time it takes to swap? Or fast as in how fast your car will be after the swap?

The easiest swap is the B16.

The fastest swap is probably the K20.

actually, easiest is probably the B18b. a lot less wiring. well, theres not that much anyway, but it seems to be the hardest part.

why would you give him only JDM engines when he can get USDM equivalents for way less $$ that can be built up just as easily, and are easier to find?

USDM B18C1 (gsr).

what year/trim are you running?

ps this thread should be moved to Engine & Internal (thx in advance to the mod who moves it )

+1 on the GSR. A Type R is gonna cost you a lot of money. I think its something like 4400 for the swap + shipping. A GSR swap is like 2600 + shipping from SunriseJDM.
