Its just cuz the c/r is lower. vtec or no vtec, both are ok for boosting.

dude youre fuckn stuiped b18c1 is a GSR motor with VTEC and its not because the ls has low CR that its better for FI its just easier to tune and lets you have some error

haha, what a fucktard you are and can't use proper grammer see it sucks when no speak good english right?

anyway... i would go with anything B and 1.8

with that said... if you're poor, i would go with a b18a/b18b, maybe boost it later on. if you have 3 grand to blow, get the GSR engine. and if you're a real man, b18c5 all the way. good luck

get a gsr swap
you get the best of both worlds

edit:
well first...
1. how much money you have to work with?
2. do you plan on going NA or FI?

but the best engine is the Search Engine
