how much horsepower are looking to make? how much money are you willing to spend? are you ever going turbo?

Does the si in Cananda have have a b16, that is a good platform to build off of? If not go with a b-series motor IMO...

No, the Canadian Si is like our EX, their B-series version is the SiR

If you have the h series motor you may experence small handling problems. Also you have to get the motor mount that will let you drop it in. You will need axels from i think a 91 teg and a half shaft from a 91 accord (not exactly sure on that). You will have to get you shift linkages fabricated. To my knoledge there ins't a company that makes them yet. Also you won't be able to have A/C but up in cananda i don't think that will be a problem. You will want to get stiffer shocks and a little wider wheels (about 215mm across) just to plant the power. That is a big motor for your little car.

THe B series motor drops right in. It shouldn't take you longer than a day to put it in. They both have their pros and cons.

I personally would go with the b series motor.
