Engine for a 4th Gen Hatch
Alright, my friend is about to get a fourth Generation Civic Hatchback, and we're doing a poll to see what people think should go in there. We have about $2000-$3000 to spend on the whole deal, so any and all suggestions are welcome on where to find an engine for it. Thanks.

I know nothing about US prices but (as I think I've said thousands of times
 ) I'd go B18 with turbo every time. Otherwise ZC with turbo.

Yall don't listen to Josh... he doesn't know that I'm doing all the planning for my brothers new car (My brother is the friend he speaks of)...
Personally I think my bro should go with a ZC and turbo set up, but he's dead set on a B16A. I already got quoted $2,500 for the full swap.

I say go Ls-Vtec, not every body has it and if set-up right can get 200hp with no mods yet!!! that better than a Type-R. I don't know how reliable it is but i'd say go Ls-Vtec and turbo, if tuned right I think 300+ HP is possible at 8-10 Pounds!!! IMO

get an ls and put it in your self w/ some one whos done swaps before, of course. that way you dont have to mess w/ vtec.
my swap costed 1500 and i used the left over money to buy my bolt ons. i think you have to buy custom mounts from hasports. http://students.washington.edu/juniperx/tom/tomscar.jpg

I would go with a zc only because it would be pretty easy but would still make your car scoot. THe b18A1 will pump 130-140...its gonna require a kit. The zc just bolts right in. The b16A will be even more rewarding(160 hp) but will also require a kit and is gonna cost you a lot.
