I've heard great things about www.jdmclub.com

What kind of money would you like to spend? Best? Maybe a B18C5, but very expensive. Maybe an H22 for strictly drag racing. What application are you looking for?

Well you ought to figure out what your long term plans are. You could save yourself some cash and buy a B18B if you are thinking of forced induction.

Well then you ought to look into the B18B (LS Motor). It tends to be the 'choice' for turbo applications.
I think 2ndGenTeg posted some info various setups. You might search around the site for it.

i think the b18c5 is a waiste of money, you can get the same amount of power out of a b18c, so unless you dont wana do any internal work to the engine, the b18c5 isnt a good choice.

HORRIBLE choise
the cams have too much valve overlap, and the compression is too high. hoestly if your going to turbo.. get the b18c1. its the gsr motor.. the comression is still high, but the cams are more turbo freindly, theres TONS of support for the motor, and even though people will say get the b18b its better compression blah blah blah... honda makes their DOHC vtec motors better. with the money you save on the motor, you can get new pistons and cams, built for a turbo car.

i live in tampa where jdmclub is. best place to get motors. trust me. just go look at the website and email mark the owner. he'll hook you up. if you want a b18b for turbo go to a junkyard.
b18b swap: 1200
b18c swap: 3000
get it? you don't need vtec if going turbo so go with the b18b, if you're not going to have money in the future for all the pain in the ass stuff that comes with turbo then go b18c/NA
