b18! max powah. Don't forget that law requires you to swap an engine that is newer than your car... if you choose to follow the law, is up to you.

It depends a lot on how much your willing to spend. There are better models of the B18 motor but they cost more money. Generally, the newer, the more expensive as well.

Try that site out, you can learn a lot just by browsing through the engines. If you want the specs just go to google and search the engine code and specs. Find a couple you like and search for them here for peoples experiences, or ask for help

You can get a b18c1 from an intergra gsr or you can do a k20/k24 swap.
