That's kinda a personal preference really.... if I were gonna start building a motor to boost I'd probably do a b18c1 gsr motor.

Yep... the b18 is just a nice platform to start on. But also I just started a project of my own where I'll be boosting an h23/vtec in my hatch.

i know this may sound dumb.. but i say d16y8. just my stupid opinion.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=57739 - i just think his setup is kinda cool in its own right; although, any b18c1 could probably put up better numbers.

Buy an ls teg, its bullet proof.......If you have some more money to play with then get a b-series gsr or type r motor. Most all the b-series motors have very high compression though, which means more money building it to withstand higher boost. Good Luck

I'd boost an LS... Best IMO... Low compression and it likes turbo.
