b16a2 turbo
i was planning on getting darton sleeves for my b16a2 and just boostin about 20 psi on this instead of getting a b18b block and putting my vtec head on it. what would be better for a turbo set up, b16a2 or the ls/vtec? i heard the ls/vtec wont be that much of a advantage once i get boostin in the 20's so should i just sleeve my b16a2 block and go from there?

sleeve your b16a2 with 83mm, you will have baddarse diplacment plus the reliablity of the b16a2 block (btw, LS block doesn't have oil squirters or crankshaft girdle, these help at high rpms)
i wouldn' t take an LS/VTEC up to the VTECs rev limiter, bottom end is not balanced from it.
go b16a2 turbo.

yes and no...on the lsvtec working better. think of it this way...the more displacement and bigger turbo the less boost youll need. the less boost the cooler the air temps...the cooler the air temps the more power. so its up to u..i say lsvtec with forged rods and blance it. do it right and u wont necesarily need to sleeve. its all in the tuning and prethought to get it to make good power. oh yea more displacement makes for better spool time too...just for a thought.
