Default Which head to use for turbo?

I'm have a 91 CRXsi with a B18a, and i'm planning on going LS/Vtec by the end of the summer. I plan to add some boost in the future, and i need to know which head i should get, the B18c, or B16a. Which one has the best cam profile for turbo? Thanx,

BEN

B16 is better. ppl may say the ITR head is better but its basically the same except the ITR head is rebowled. its also a 1.6 if ya didnt know. so save yo cash.

The best head for what you want is definetely the B16A. That will bolt straight on to a B18C bottom block. A buddy of mine actually experimented with a B16A head with the ITR intake manifold (with a B18C1 bottom). His set up includes a Rev Hard Turbo running 15psi of boost, and run consistent low 12's and high 11's (in a 1995 Civic Dx body). Just make sure you do some engine work before hand though. Good Luck.

HAHA...everyone asks me that. But actually, I think I'm probably one of the "older"ones on this list...(32), so I've been working for quite a while now...but to answer your question, I'm an Investment Banker for Smith Barney. So if any of you want any stock tips let me know!
