b16a turbo would be the cheapest

for boost b16a can't be beat:
perfect rod to stroke ratio = more reliable=more boost
bottom end with better cooling and oiling then b18a or b
head, that flows well
number of cams avaible
cheap to purchase and replace, can be easily converted to low c/r pistons from b18b/a

I agree with eg6ajk, Jons Swap Shop has a CRX that ran 11.2 on a stock b16. b16 all the way real cheap to replace and will handle mad amount of boost
