Default fully built b20motor practically gone.. swaping in next motor.. B18B or B20B?? help me decide

plannin on buyin either a JDM B18B LS Long Block or a JDM B20B Long Block from HMOTORS... dont know which one to choose swap into my turbo setup.. ive read that b20's arnt so safe for turbo b/c of weaker sleeves or something and LS's should last fine stock at low boost 6-10 psi DD. wondering if anyone else has any input on this.. ive searched and seen most ppl go with LS turbo but thast because they already had LS motor in their car.. also read ppl like to upgrade from LS to B20 b/c more TQ. wondering Which one should i choose to continue my DD boosted Teg. and i only have enough money to buy this long block and swap it in.. =\ or else i woulda rebuilt my b20 motor =X

here's my set up:


• Turbonetics T3/T4 Hybrid Turbocharger
• Rev Hard Turbo Manifold
• Spearco Front Mount Intercooler
• RC 550cc Fuel Injectors
• HKS Super Sequential BOV
• Mugen Thermostat
• Samco Radiator Hoses
• JDM Integra 1998 GS-R Transmission
• JDM Integra 1998 GS-R Oil Pan
