it's cheaper to drop in one of those then it is a -c5 and the $$ you save swapping in one of those instead can be put towards engine mods

I guess there are a still a long way to go before I swap the engine, depending on what I am getting of course.

***note** this is my opinion***
th c5 has a higher compression than any of the other engines... so unless you have a lot of money for tunning ...
it's easier to start with a b18b or a b16a2 and build it up from there
or... if you're a real champ... you can build a ls/vtec for the same amount... and guarentee you'll be putting out more hp and tq then the type r
but hey... it's your car
if you want a c5... who am i to say anything

Actually an even better solution is swapping the bottom end with a B20 which has higher displacement, rod ratios and bore and stroke. It's also bored 3mm larger than the B18 motors which result in more torque
