Default Which engine to pick

Its been a long time since i've posted on this site, and i would like to say im glad to be back, i homemade turbo'd my old 99 civic si a few years ago and after it was stolen and striped i bought a 98 Eclipse GSX which im now selling because its too damn sluggish. So anyways, im buying a 92-95 Civic HB and i need to know the best engine to put in it, im considering the b16b, b16c or h22a, the h22a is significantly cheaper than the others and i dont really know why, also im going to be turbo charging the motor but i want to keep the internals stock, im not confident enough to start messing with hondas perfection. your thoughts? and these arent the only engine, anything you can suggest?

whatever engine will kill you fastest preferably.






Why do people come here and ask opinions on things that have been asked 3,511,843.266 times? I'd go with b18.

is the b161b not turbo friendly or something, why is the b18 perferred, just because of the higher displacement?

people don't run b16b's because they sell for as much as most of the 12 second cars on this website have invested in them.

yeah, i would like to build up the internals, but i worry about messing it up, after i turbo'd my si, it ran like crap, i remember black smoke coming out of the back and i never did find out what it was, i thought the oil return line was clogged or something, oh well, its gone. Me and my friend tried to rebuild his eclipse motor and it got all f-up, so i kind dont want to try that, just the engine swap for now, those type r's are alot of money i guess, thanks for your input
