i'd stay away from the type r engine. If you wanna 1.8 motor then gsr would be your best choice. Or you can get b16 if you wanna go cheap.It seems like you have money for b-series so yeh thats why i'm suggesting a b-series motor and not d-series

A H22 is a good choice if you don't mind the extra weight in the front.

h22 is a good choice if you don't mind no ac as well, the only people i know of w/ h22 in the engine bay use them for race only.
i'de personally say go w/ a b18 motor if money is no object but if you need something to drop in fast and that will be fast get a zc, they are run about the same price as replacement engines from japan and cheeper than us rebuilt engines... loads cheeper.

You could have a boosted 1st gen B16 for the price of a C5.
They're a nice motor and I would love an ITR tranny, but I'm a firm believer that they're hugley overpriced because of the demand for people to have a "TypeARRG" motor. The coolness.
