If you're going to just bolt the thing in though with i/h/e get a B18C5.
I agree they are way over priced and I would be planning on building a b18c5 motor but supposedly the gsr motor is just as good if you tune it properly and it's a lot less expensive.

So you think a b20 vtec then? That's like a honda crv motor isn't it how much hp does the b20 vtec motor put out? And how much do they go for usually?
