BUT im not sure what block would be best to use.. i was lookin into maybe a B20 but not sure what kinda compresion, HP, and tourqe i should expect or if there would be a better block to run instead.. any info would be helpful if anyone has done a b20 with the b16 head could u tell me what to expect and what kinda money i should look to spend in doin this swap..

could cost a little or a lot depending on your goals....you can just slap the head on the block and call it quits with just tappin it for vtec...or spend money and do it the right way which would be to get new internals, etc...just all depends on you man

Re: (egtype-r)
b20 walls kind of weak. sleeve it , do it right will hold anything u can throw at since your doing the pistons might as well do the rods too. don't want to half *** it have to rebuild like me. if you don't sleeve it your going to have to spend that money maybe more on the fuel management.
no sleeves means no room for error in tuning

It is an eternally disputed question: Which head flows better B16 or B18? I have heard alot of people go either way. But for your setup I would say B16. But WTF do I know, HPPY TUNING!
