Default Best EK SWAP help!!!!

Hi I have a 96 Civic DX Sedan and I was thinking of going turbo wit it but I'm also considering doing a DOHC Vtec swap in it but I like to know which Engine is the best for swap into this car?? I just don't wanna deal wit any Motor mount relocation.. I'm thinking CRV-Tec because I wanna Go Turbo regardless... Any Opinions???

Hey guys that was a great link that was posted up from Lee97ex, thanks it had a lot of great info in it. I just have a few questions i've been doing a lot of research for my own b series swap and some of the information that i've been finding seems ok but some of it seems questionable. I am planning on swapping in a b16a2 form the 99 civic si into my 97 civic dx hb. I knew from before that you'd have to use the motor mounts that came with the 99 si, but i've been reading from other sources that the ony mounts you have to use are the transmission and rear motor mount, you can use the original d series mounts and not have to change them, is this true? The other thing is i would like to keep my AC running and I know I need a bracket from another car for that to happen, i've heard of people saying to use either the the AC bracket from the CRV or the Del Sol....Its a little confusing to me so if anyone could shed some light on that I would appreciate it and also the what belts should I use? The rest of the swap seems fairly simple to do and should'nt be to terrible to complete but those are just a few concerns I have...Sorry for acting like a noob, but this is going to be my first swap and I really would like to get it done right the first time so any tips, hints or advice would be greatly appreciated. I will continue my research on these topics until I get the right answers!
