complete h23 swaps are cheaaaaaaap i got mine for 300 2 years ago, thats cause i knew the guy but what im saying is go h23 they are cheap and everywhere. run 9 psi all day and you will make more power and tq then the b20 anyday. hcp mounts are 300 no bad at all. id go h23. cheaper and faster then b20

I'll let you know. I had a turbo B20 in an EG over 5 years ago (has it been that long already ) and it was fast. We're currently building up a turbo H23-VTEC setup with iron sleeves, just because we had the spare parts laying around. Obviously the H23-VTEC will handle more boost but driving wise they should feel the same with about the same size turbo if you're going in a straight line or for daily driving.

If you have the time and money...Go with the h23 turbo setup. It will give you more power overall compared to the b20b turbo. If you can get the b20z...that will pretty much almost even them up. Parts for the b20 would be so much easier to find. Highway racing or drag...the h23 would be nice. Vtec will also just be a head swap away.
