Default Which motor should i get?

Just having some thoughts with myself on which motor I should drop into my car..
So far I'm looking at a B18B, B20, or the B18A . But I'm leaning towards the LS and CRV motors due to the lower compression for future boosting ability.. damn I hate my brain at times, it argues with me too much :(

not sure what they are called there.. but h22 is a good swap.. i have a b18 in my crx n a friend has a b18 in his eg.. know people who have done k20 (type r dc5 engine).. depends on how much work you wan to do and how much funding you have to pay for the work!
good luck and post as you go!

x2 you just need to do it right but i recomend a b16 just for the fact that i love mine and the fact that they are easy to find for a good price just make sure you have a compression test done before you buy or you might get F***ed good luck but trust me a b16 will net you more power with less money but if you are going to boost one and dont have money for internals try using ls (b18a) pistons instead of the b16 it will help by lowering your compression slightly
