If you were aiming for a 12 second turbo civic
Which engine would you use (bang for buck):
Keep stock sohc and build it up
B16- hey if kubo can run 9s on one its gotta be doing something right
B18b- the cheapest torque and no VTEC to deal with
B18c- getting expensive but has shown to be good time and again a plethora of parts
B20- no vtec fairly expensive but torquey
H22- uncommon more displacement to mess with less parts available moderate price

I think the setup I have in mind will lead to 300hp and mid 12s itd be unique quick and get some respect (hopefully)
