Default Modding my B16A...

I have a couple questions about my B16A(first gen). I recently bought my CRX and the engine is hardly modded. Except for a cold air intake and the battery in the back. What should I concentrate on first being the car is a 91' CRX with a engine swap. I am rewiring everything already but I'm a noob when it comes to engines. Also what is my best bet for a turbo setup on my engine? And are used turbos any good to buy? . Please help.

a good tune. obd0-obd1 swap. im not to sure about turbos not to big on them but depending on what you want and the kind of money you wanna spend they are many options. if its the full swap with the b16 tranny and all thats a good starting point. you can make an all motor beast for about $1000 give or take and going with a b20 bottom end on ur b16 head. with the right tune and a good driver you can easily put down a low-mid 13 second run in the quarter mile

the obd0 to obd1 swap is a good idea. Although I think with a stock b16 with a CAI doesn't need a tune if you are running the stock pw0 or pr3 ecu.

Alot of companies make bolt on turbo kits for your engine setup. I would go with the b16 turbo. Only go b20 vtec if you plan to stay all motor or at least sleeve it for boost. I think the oversquare r/s ratio of the b16 is a great match for boost
