  1. Don't waste your money, the tornado and turbonator do nothing, your intake manifold creates enough turbulence to destroy any swirling effect. Take the $30 and buy a cherry bomb muffler or some ebay rice can, you'll see a bigger gain on the butt dyno. All that resistor does is trick your ECM into "limp home mode" which is a full rich cycle, in theory your gas mileage is about to take a crap.

  2. Depends on what you want to do. Go to www.honda-tech.com and read their thread on engine swaps.

    Thats the best thing you can say. If its a Civic, B series is going to be your easiest. Money wise its going to depend on what spec it is. You can get a non-vtec b18 for nothing, and I have seen B16s from CTRs for close to $5,000. On ebay you can pick up an H22 for like $1,400 and its torquey swap. On the civics and integras it is a bit heavy and gives you some extra understeer. Which in a FWD isn't optimal. I know people with Accords with H22 swaps and LSDs and they love them. If you are going to be drag racing or want a dyno queen, or just even something to wow people at a show with, the H22 is the best one. IMO the K20 is a great engine. Especially if you drop the money for a K24 block or the TODA stroker kit. That way you gain back the torque of the H22, without the extra weight. In an older civic even a stock K20 is a monster. However the K20 is the most expensive to do. What kind of car is it? That will effect what is best for you. If its a Civic the best all around IMO is the B-Series. Its cheap, easy, not handling altering, and gains power. Theres my $.02
