the b16a will have a higher hp output at the same psi, but i'm sure the LS will be able to boost safer at higher poundage

i'd vote for the b18b. Not only does it have more hp potential, but it's also alot easier to tune(not being a vtec)

same turbo with same boost? The B18b and the b16a require VERY similar air flow. Mainly because of the displacement vs. VTEC. So, that being said a typical .54 or .60 trim compressor would be ideal for both. On the turbine side you would want to go with a .48 on the b18 and a .63 on the b16 because of the extra rpm on the b16. Either way it is going to boil down to bottom end torque on the b18 or top end power with the b16. Turbo b18...better for the track. Turbo b16...highway car. Just my .02

The B18 would make more torque.

The B16 would make more horsepower.
