I just got a 92 black si eg and i was wandering what everyone thought about what engine i should get. I want the best engine with the price that is worth it. I was thinking either b16b, b18c1, b18c5

the CTR motor is nothing but hype.performance wise,it under performs an LS.and ITR swap is over priced and isnt worth it.a gsr swap would be ur best best, but bang for the buck the LS is the way to go.it'll drop right into ur chassis with no other mounts or wiring.

If you have the money, go all out. Get a ITR swap.

I love my LS motor. Runs strong. I paid a hell of alot less than any vtec motor too. Plus it's not going to really matter if I have vtec or not when I have a spooled turbo.

Speaking of...George, I'll be stopping down sometime soon.

Well i was working with a crx before and since you have to run vtec it was smarter to me to go with the non-vtec engine. Now since I have a car with vtec already wired in i figured y not go with the engine with vtec

Ahh depends. If you are planing to go with a turbo in the future i would go with ls, you can crank the boost up harcore on one. All Motor go with TYPE R!!!
