IMO the D16z6 sohc is by far a lot more fun to turbo than a B series. Also, parts are a lot cheaper than B's in every department. You would be much better off doing the single cam turbo while spending a shitload less than ANY B series. However, if you were planning on doing all motor, then i would suggest either an LS or C1 motor to be a base platform, hence the higher stock compression. Good luck with whatever you choose.
