.... be more specific what do you want to know


it basically depends all on what the car will be used for and what the owner wants...

ive had both...

boost the sohc, the b18a/b is fun but nothing beats vtec + boost

plus the turbo setup is gonna net u more power in the end and be more fun- the b18 ls swap is more of a starting point to build toward something fast... so it all depends what your goals are, fast now, or faster later?

Boosted sohc vtec is gonna make u fast NOW. B18 ls swap is gonna set u up to be fast-er later down the road
