Default 95 hatch with b18b1/b16?? build startup

After 3 years of driving a VW diesel i sold it and went back to a honda.
Found a pretty wicked deal on one with a engine already swapped in but i cant be sure on the head thats in, I know its the b18b1, but i dont know which b16 head it is. how would one find out? looked for a stamp, cannot find.


And with that, Which combo would be ideal?
Its already stupid quick, My air fuel gauge is reading around 13.2 at max throttle around 6000rpm. and i wish to throw one of my many many turbos on it.
And with these ls vtec engines, what would one want to look out for while boosting?

So if anyone can throw some broscience my way, i would enjoy any tips.








And with this post I am off to the garage to rip everything i can apart and look for issues. Thanks in advance.
Will update as i build.

It is a PR3-3 head, looked like from a 99 Si if I am not mistaken and the first stamp stands for year.

You can look at the exhaust valve springs and see if it has dual valve springs if so is a chance from a type r.
