they B18c5 is the USDM ITR motor
the JDM 96+ ITRs had B18c with 210 BHP and USDMs had 195
any VTEC b series would be cheaper than an F20c/F22c swapp
IMO go with a b18c all motor

Yes. If it is built enough with proper tuning and sized turbo.

Well...I always think about it this way: Compare the costs of each car with modifications. STI=over $30k, A nicely modified Honda that will beat the STI=$15k. You paid half what he did and put your hard work and money into your car, so he can talk all he wants but his car is still stock and more expensive.

You honestly think that there is no way to beat a WRX? Damn dude, they aren't anything special. STI of course is a slightly different story, but again, beatable... Hell, I was racing a NA CRX running 12's... Definately not impossible to waste a SUBARU in a HONDA...

LOL, come on couldn't you guys tell that I was being sarcastic? Look at my sig, my car is mild compared to what it's potential is. My fuel system and tuning set-up (hondata) is capable of 500whp, my turbo will support about 450whp, and my internals are at about their limit. I'm only a set of pistons and rods away from seeing the full potential of my set-up.
It was a joke I was being sarcastic. I guess I am to much of a NOOB to joke around. :dunno:

I need a disclaimer in my sig, that way people can tell when I'm being sarcastic.
My whole point was his question was dumb to begin with, You, I, nor the next guy could tell him if he'd win against any car.
I've seen guys with 300whp run 13's and guys like me with a little less run mid 12's. It all comes down to each individual. I've won races that I shouldn't have stood a chance against. I raced guys who run consistant mid 11's and won, does that mean my cars really an 11 second car? No, it just means I had a better launch, reaction time, and a better run then him.
The only way he'll find out is if he builds the set-up he wants and takes it to the track to race this guy.
