My first build was as cheap as I could get. I threw a cheap B18A1 block with a B16 head and it was all stock. It had alot of torque with just stock internals. Since then i have built alot more including a B18B1 turbo DelSol that ran 12.5 in the quarter. Anyway if you are on a budget just do an LS/VTEC and you will love it. If you have deep pockets go with a Type-R swap, build it and turbo it.
