I searched around and didn't any post that answered some of the questions I have so I am just going to start a new thread. If any of these questions have been answered before I apologize in advance but I didnt see them.

First off I was looking for a really good how-to on the swap and conversion. If there is a link out there on how to do this and someone could provide me with the link that would be awesome.
Secondly I was wondering how a b20 block with B16 head would do with boost. If I had it apart I would get the B20 block sleeved and such but power wise what kind of numbers do similar set ups to what I have mentioned put out? I was thinking about getting one of the peakboost kits from cheapturbos.com....good idea?
And lastly this will be going into my 99 Si. Are there any other combos I should think of before commiting to this idea. I dont have the K swap or thats what would be done but aside from K is there anything else to think of?
Thanks in advance for any info you guys can hook me up with

Resleeving the B20 solves the problem with the thinner cylinder walls, but the other problem with B20-t is RPM's. The older B20B would be the better choice if you don't plan to get new pistions, since it has a lower compression ratio than the B20Z. It really depends on how much power you're going for and it's intended usage. I'd say a built B20-t would be great for you, but don't overlook what the B18B can do either. You could opt for lower-compression pistons and crank the boost, and still be able to use a B16 head to its potential.

The real problem is that there's so many paths to take with B-series - it really depends on how much you want to spend.

I just thought the extra displacement of the B20 would help out. How high can it rev (with vtec head) as opposed to the B18B(also with vtec head)....I really dont need much higher than what I run now. I just want more power
