Default Turbo set up / motor swap help from one shell to another..

Whats up everyone,

I currently have a turbo integra with the stock b16 block and fully built vtec head. I just bought a bare b18c1 block that I sent out to get benson sleeved. I have cp pistons, manley rods and acl race bearings to go into the block.

I want to pick up a new shell (eg hatch or coupe) and was for now thinking about just keeping my integra and having the b18c1 block go in and take out the b16 block as I want to run the integra for this 2010 season and pick up a EG for 2011. I just figured it will be more as I have my tuner shop install and take out my motor which is why maybe I was thinking I should just leave the b16 block in the integra and just pick up a EG now and put the sleeved b18c1 block in the civic and swap the built head and turbo kit on there as well?

Your suggestions are more then welcome!

I dont understand the situation very clearly

U want to get a shell, throw the b18c block in it, and swap the vtec head and turbo from your integra?

Or do u want to put the b18c block into your teg with b16 head?

If your asking for recommendations of the two.
Def b18c block into teggy. Idk if you got a good deal at the time but why would u b16 a teggy?

I'm also a little bit confused... I would just try to get the B18 block onto whatever setup you're going to go with.
