VTEC or Non-VTEC with B20 block and turbo in DA9???
I am about to do a swap in my 93 Teg LS. I'm going to use a B20 block with Wiseco pistons. I had thought about using the head from my B18A because I had heard that the non-vtec has a longer stroke, and can make more power. I will also be using a t3/t4 turbo. The setup that I'm buying came out of a 99 GSR. He was using the GSR head, and had 19lbs of boost. My question is: which head should I use? and any other recommendations. Thanks

Using a VTEC head on a non-VTEC block is substantially more complicated, expensive, and (some would argue) risky. However, a CRVTEC that is properly built can put out amazing power. If you choose to use the VTEC head, do a lot of research about it first. Since you're going turbo, I recommend staying LS.
