i have a 00' civic si that is getting swaped with a b18a ,is it a good idea to swap the ls motor ? what would i be able to get the most power out of that ls motor?

why would you swap out a b16a for an LS motor? You could always do an lsvtec if you do swap it out.

the b16 was a badass engine i put all my money into it and right when i waz barely going to have like a month with it tweaked up it blew,so then all i could afford now waz the ls motor,but yeqah so what could i put to get the most power out of the ls?

its not gonna be what the b16 was unless you have a major power adder (nitrous, turbo, supercharger). the LS is the better motor for torque, but the b16 head has better airflow properties than the LS head, so you'll suffer in the topend as opposed to the b16. you also lose that 8000+ revving we all love so much. plus the obvious, you're losing vtec. you'd have to put some money into an LS just to get it up to par with your old stock b16.
