Default B20B or B16A

I need your help on this one. I don't know wether to go for a B20 V-tec or just go with a first gen B16A fully built. I am planning to run a turbo set-up later. Someone I know is running LS-V with turbo, won't tell me his set up. I wanna go a different route on this project.

if you want to go all motor, b20vtec. b16's are weak. if you do plan on going turbo, i would recommend just getting a gsr. youll have the best of both worlds/

yea a b16 is one of the best flowing heads for a turbo set up and you say a fully built engine, which i would expect includes, sleaves, pistons, cam gears at least stage 2? valves etc etc.. b16 would be great to turbo, no if you were gonna fully build the b20 thats a whole nother story..

b16's are not weak..i dont know what the hell some people are talking about sometimes on here.. if you ever opened up a couple of these motors you'd realize the b16a has the most stout rods of all the b-series..i know tons of guys here in nj that run +400whp on stock block b16's,,beat the **** out of them all the time and they last..But they were tuned very well..

yeah,, a fully built b16 is better then a stock b20 with a vtec head..that's pretty obvious.
