The b18b would be a better choice to turbo if you were to leave them stock ... LS engine has lower compression ratio ...

I think the b18b will be faster, but I'd prefer the b16 because of the better rod to stroke ratio. I just think the b16 is way more flexable than the b18b.
The advantage of the b18b is displacement, and there is no replacement for displacement, kinda.

with the b18b, you get torque and displacement. with the b16a, you get VTEC & near perfect r/s ratio.
