Default Choices Choices, Help?

I have a 92 Civic VX. I was origianally planning on doing a B16 engine swap. But one of my friends is trying to convince me to drop an LS motor (B18a, i think) in and turbo it. Any ideas? which would cost more? If i did the LS motor, I would do a custom turbo, so none of those 4k$ kits. thanks

the b18b and turbo will cost way more than a b16 swap but you'll have soooo much more torque so go for the turbo.

B18b plus the turbo will do the trick. If you are on a budget then do the b16 or you could also do the b18c or c1

So would the B18b bolt up to what i have now? (92 VX) and is it OBD I or II? Actually, is there a sight that probably tells me everything i need to know??
