what i know:

b18b w/FI - great low end torque, lower compression, longer gears that are better for boost

b16a2 w/FI - more horsepower up top with vtec, higher redline for boost, can get a cool type R valve cover

So i know a little, but what are your guys' opinions, the turbo setup im looking at is a drag/revhard kit, havent decided

Wow you're cool dude!!

I'd get the 1.8, even though with equal drivers and same PSI and weight of cars, the B16 would pull on the 1.8.

I can sacrafice a quick geared tranny for one that will give me good gas mileage. Plus the LS swap is way cheaper too. Go ask on the Forced Induction forum.

Hope that helps brotha.

Oh another thing, the LS's long gearing is not better for boost. You will get flamed for even asking this.

The B16 tranny falls in higher RPM, where you make more power, but I'd rather have an LS tranny just cause of the gas mileage. I'm not trying to build the ultimate race Honda or nothing.

True that.

Ok get one of your boys with a turboed B18 and I'll get one of mine with a turboed B16 and we'll see who'd win.
