Default pros and cons of both

im looking to build a motor iv been going back and forth between wich i wanna build..
i have a complete B16a with an S21 lsd trans sitting in my garage i also have a B18a1 on my engine stand..
my original plan was to build the B18a (eagle rods weisco pistons moroso pan) and change out the B16a valve train (between crower and ferrera) and make it an LSV..
now im looking at it and im not sure i wanna turbo my eg and i have two motors sitting here but i dont kno what i wanna do so what im trying to find out is the pros and cons to both the B16a turbo and a LSV turbo (B18a1/B16a) both would be built with the same parts so its just the b16a or lsv question..
if anyone could help thatd be great

definately build the b18 bottom end and put the b16 head on it. the little bit of extra cc's help out with a decent sized turbo. plus you could still use the lsd trans with it. hope this helps.
