Default Which to boost?

Well new to the site, just wanted to get some opinions first.

Im hoping to pick up a CRX here soon. Planning on doing a swap right away.

I was thinking of a b16. I eventually want to boost it.

But I also was thinking b20 and boost?

Not sure, what you all thing is the primest choice for swap + boost.

ls.....b16 will make good numbers and has vtec but still torquless 1.6....cylinder walls are too thin on a b20 for most tuners to be reliable. a b18b would be your best choice. has torque and can produce 300hp completely stock

I would go with the B16 swap and boost that. In the mean time you could buy a cheap LS block, build that and swap that in later.

so you mean to tell me, the ls b18b has more potential( stock ) with boost, rather than the b16 ( stock ) with boost?
