well thats the thing about autocross you dont need tons of power and especially if your car isnt set up, youll just spin tires, understeer, and such.
hell look at miatas and the elise
If he was going for circuit racing then go for the h22, but autocross cars should be nimble and easily change directions. not saying a h22 wouldnt hurt, but the b16 is the easy, cheap way to go. but like you said, its not much heavier, so really its just whatever he can find or afford i guess.

but since he will prolly want to play a little on the street, then go h22
