If you already have the b16 (which you do) I would use that.They are a tuff engine and make good power with the turbo.They have strong rods (and bolts),and a good stock intake manifold.

The ls will make more power all else being equal,but the b16 can be a little cheaper to build.Lots of people have made good reliable power with stock b16s.If your going to build up one than the ls/vtec is the best choice
