if you plan to just swap the engine in and do nothing beyond i/h/e to it, get the b18c5. if you plan to build the engine significantly, get the b18c1. the price difference between the two doesnt make the c5 worth it if you'll be ripping it apart and replacing everything anyway.

get the b18c1 then. upgrading all of that is always a good idea.

Well , if i got the type r car , i could sell the seats and five lug suspension off of it , etc. I could get the car roughly between 4-5 thousand. So Now what , also what would a 00 si run with those mods that i listed in the 1/8? thanks
