build the b18b for boost...you'll be much happier...I'm sure

i'm gonna build a b18C

Thats what i would go with.. As far as i know they are not much more expensive then the B18b.
Plus the b18C is just nice.. YOu can boost them quite a bit.

go with the B18b block and any B16a head. Ur gonna like the results. Its even a good application for your turbo setup later on, just keep ur stock pistons. I wouldnt advise u 2 get into it urself if u dont have any experience in it though because it requires u drilling and tapping the B16 head n we should all know how expensive DOHC VTEC engines (or in this case engine heads) are. But good luck anyway.
