Default help decide what motor

ok so i recently got hole in one of my valves in my b18b so i have a couple options i can do and i am having trouble deciding. first i can get a b18c1 swap and throw that in there, or i can go wih a b16a , or i can rebuild the head on my b18b and run about 7-10 psi to it i cant decide what to do right now. also i could go ls/vtec which do you think would be my best option?

Why is this not on the (I Boosted my motor, it done broke, I do not know why) forum. Like most of the (boom) turbo motors?

Throw in the GSR for now,and build the LS bottom end on the side.When your done with the LS, slap it all together and you have a nice LSV.

well you can get a b16 together for cheap and boost that
and itll be alot of fun, and with the compression around 10.2 or 10.4 depending on which B16a you get, you can run around 9 psi and make ALOT of power. a local shop here put a really nice kit on a stock pr3 b16 and with a good tune got 300HP out of it on 9psi on i think a t3/t4
