They are the same motor only with a VTEC head. So I am not understanding. Build up the B18A/B bottom end and when you get money you can put a VTEC head on it.

dude totally go with the ls/vtec! if rocks, i just finished converting my b18a to ls/vtec useing the b16 head, i ran a 14.83 in the quater in my crx and thats without many mods, im in the process of having my b16 head completely built, and then i'm going to build the bottom end in about two months. you can always do the ls/vtec later so go ahead and build the bottom end and then turbo, then do the ls/vtec...theres so many different ways to go. if you got questions send me message, i could lead you step by step.

What are your overall plans with the car? What is your technical experience? How much do you intend to lay out overall?

Think about this all.

take out the sleeves from the b18a, put them in the b16 head with vtec combustable retainers and you'l be set to run.
