Default How do B20Vtec engines compare

i have been out of the game for a little while but i just got a civic hatch and i have a great deal , where i can setup a B20VTEC. but i would like to know if they are a waste of time in recent times or are they still a force to be reconned with ?

how do they stand up turbo charged?
or even with a shot of Nitrous ?

is there anywhere i can buy all the fittings and lines as a kit or package?

how would a B20VTEC with 4.7 FD compare to a H22 swap, or H2B.

i would go H2b but some of the pics i see of people's cars have the hood wedged and i dont like that. is it a must

Because a lot of the B-series guys are going over to K-series now...the cycle's endless.

man, you can make a D16 fast if you want. Dont let honda-tech convince you that the letter stamped in the block in the end of the story.

Find a setup you admire and go from there.
