I would think B18B turbo would be best. You can easily turbo a B18B since it's lower compression than the b16a... remember B16a has 10.2:1 compression, which is pretty high for turbo.

Plus, B18B motors are cheap as ***.

Since I am a huge fan of the 3rd generation preludes, I would say go with the 2.1 litre Si B21A1 engine and get a LudeSPEED turbo. The engine stock is 140 hp with compression of 9:4:1. Perfect for turbo. Turbo is a great price, and engine isn't too hard to find. http://www.ludespeed.com/

Oh yeah, you might want to switch this topic to the hybrid secton...
