engine help, what to throw in a hatch>>>>
Well, i'm getting a hatch, some of you may know brandon, and his ek, well i'm buying that and i'm ordering a motor for it the same day, i need help deciding on what kind, i've considered the jdm type r , the h22, or a gsr. i like the c5 and i heard h22's go shitty in swaps, so any help or advice would be appreciated.

what are the plans? all motor? boost? what? from what i know the h22 and the c5 dont handle turbo all too great, unless they are tuned correctly, but ive seen some damn nice SC'd ITR's. if you plan on all motor drop in an h22 or a c5 if you have the cash, but make sure you have the suspension to handle the extra weight of te h22. plus you have to consider are you wanting a drag car, autox, etc? i highly doubt the h22 would be any good for auto x or road racing, but in a straight line it'd be VERY nice. i say get a gsr motor, talk to Si2See he has a swap in chesterfield (near richmond) that he will install and crap for about 3k. supposedly has some aftermarket parts, but i say itd be worth it to not have to worry about shipping and all that. i know you guys can do the install, but youd still have to wait a few weeks before youd get the motor. just my opinion though, but i say get a gsr.
