Thats kind of a stupid question. The cheapest will not be the best. The best you could put is a JDM TypeR, the cheapest would be a d series vtec, but thats only a single cam.

hes not saying he wants the absolute best for a good cheap deal..hes saying he wants the best he can get out of whatever budget hes on. lets say he has only 2000 to spend, hes saying he wants the best for whatever he can get for 2000 or around there. ya see what i mean. speaking of whitch..how much money do u have to spend on a motor?

the best vtec bang for his buck, that's what i think he's asking. Here's a pretty cheap combination that i was planning on doing in upcoming years; hella cheap Ls/Vtec
-Pick up a B16A1 (OBD0) engine long block and use it as a tear apart engine. These run like $650.
-Then pick up a B18A / B bottom end from a junk yard. About $300.
-Find yourself a JDM B16 tranny for your car, either hydro or cable w/ a conversion kit
-Get new engine mounts, B16 Del Sol DOHC VTEC axles from autozone ($70 each), new shift linkage ($75), and a new ecu ($200)
Basically what you are doing is building an OEM Ls/VTEC. Rebuilding the B18 with all B16 internals. Use the B16 pistons, Ls rods (with some ARP bolts), the Ls crank, B16 oil pump and water pump, and put the whole B16 head on it with some Golden Eagle dowel pins. This has got to be one of the cheapest ways to build a Ls/V that i can think of. Then depending on your car, buy a new distributor if it's '92+

"dude dont wate ur money buy a real car why throw a couple grand into a pos 4 cylinder when u could buy something that actually looks nice and goes fast"
ahhhh, spoken like a true domestic guy. Truth of the matter is...you can make a "pos 4 cylinder" faster than a "pos domestic" for half the price. Check out the latest issue of IMPORT RACER and you'll see what i'm talking about. K20A powered CRX pushing 252whp/160lbs and running low 11's ALL MOTOR! Itb's, header, and hondata that's it on a stock engine. I don't know of many domestics that run 11's with a stock engine and minor bolt on's......
Pick up SportCompactCar's new book on "engine and driveline", you may learn a few things about pos 4 cylinders.
