B18C Tranny or b
HeLp 
Ok, I'm looking rebuild a head, I'm really intent on it being of a 1.8.
I intend to match it up to a decent block (whether I buy it built or build it too is to be decided), my final intentions are to Turbo it (but I won't get into deep detail) and drop it in my 97 Civic Coupe.
I am lazy, live in a big city and this is my daily and only driver. Hence I wanna keep the car automatic, Is there a tranny + ecu that will serve my needs? even if I have to buy it new.
P.S.
Due to the lack of success of my search I am considering just going with a NON-Vtec engine... as long as its a Decent 1.8, would you guys consider this advisable, due to the plans to turbo it and all?

i think he wanted to keep his car a automatic,...and for a turbo going with LS tranny would be more beneficial because of the long gearing,...but i dont know much about automatic LS trannys

exactly WiDeBoDyEK...
that's the dilemma I'm having.. the tranny
I realize I don't really care for the Vtec at this point.. but if worst comes to worst.. I'll bite it and go 5-speed (but that is as a last resort)
