Default Upgrade question

sup all. i got a 99 civic hx coupe. D16Y5 SOHC, which is the VTech-E motor with only 47k on it. 115Hp stock. got a few mods on it: a ractive short ram intake, gready evo cat-back system, obx header and downpipe, magnecor 8.5mm wires, bosch platinum plugs, short throw shifter, eibach pro-kit lowering springs, tokico illumina 5-point adjustible shocks, front strut brace.
What would be my next step. i'm thinking of one of two possibilites. get nitrous oxide kit now and save up for a b18c or just save up for the b18c and get it sooner. i heard that you have to give up the ac if doing a b18c swap, if that's the case, willing to go with the b16a. as we all know, working with a budget is tough, however, willing to wait till i get enough for the swap. just tired of having little power from my d16. what do you guys think. any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I say wait for the B18c. You should be able to keep the A/C, don't know why you wouldn't. I had a few B16's, they were fun, but I like the extra torque of the B18c, it's worth the extra money. Good luck!
