'97 Civic EX - Type R Engine Swap or Turbo?
I'm trying to decide whether or not to do extensive engine work such as bolt-ons and turbo...or should I drop a Acura Type R Engine into my 97 Civic EX? What am I looking at for price range when doing an engine swap? Where do I find a good engine to purchase?

You apparently have some money to spare. You really ought to look in to a B16B (LS, non-VTEC) then add a turbo. You would get more bang for your buck.

Of course if you have the money, just turbo the B18C5.....

If you do have a little money....i would buy the B16A and turbo it. Plus they make alot of engine mods for the B16A so you will be able to get every engine mod you want.
