it all depends on what you wanna do to the car? as far as a great motor to start off with do small mods and get decent power the h22 in the prelude is a good platform. its got 2.2 liters, that should speak for itself.

Best engine for honda is the 2.7 v6 it has some of the best specs. I have one in my steerlings and if rover uses it it has to be good. With a 5 speed it is liquid fun.

No one has mentioned the 3.0L/3.2L NSX engine yet? I know some people are talking about V6s, but the NSX's is significantly different from those. That is my favorite Honda engine, I like the S2000's for its unbelievable hp/L, but it just doesn’t compare to the torque or sound of the V6 in the NSX.

What about the V12s from Honda's dominance in F1? I know they aren't even remotely close to road car engines, but they sure as hell showed the world what kind of engineering genius the Honda boys were capable of...

You're all out of your minds! The F22C is BY FAR the best engine Honda has ever made, it absolutely DESTROYS any B, K, ir H series engine. Anyone who has driven an S2000 will tell you that the engine is a masterpiece, and that Honda's numbers for it are EXTREMELY conservative, not to mention that its also the most advanced road car engine that any manufacturer has ever made.

Edit: whoops, sorry, didn't read the entire first post. In that case, having driven all of them, I would reccommend an Integra Type R (B18C5 1.8L 195 HP), if you can find one, but since that is difficult, its a tie between the previous gen Civic Si (B16B1 I believe, 1.6 L 160 HP), and an Integra GSR (1.7L or 1.8L depending on the generation, B17A for '90-'93, 170HP, B18C1 for '94-'00, 180HP, I think). Personally I'd choose the '90-'93 Integra, because its a lot rarer than the newer one and looks better, and because it doesn't look like a goddamn Civic.
