well jdm you beat me to him, but I'll chime in anyways.

I would like to know first off how a swap cost $5k?
a complete motor swap plus labor for a b16a2 is going for around $1600. If you can do it yourself you're looking at under a grand.

your reasoning for running high boost makes no sense. boost does not determine the amount of power made, it's the compression along with the boost(to put it VERY simple). yeah you could boost 20psi at a 8:1 ratio, or boost 12psi at a 10:1 ratio and make the same amount of power for example.

plus the original question is what would be best for turboing in terms of a motor. the oil squirters on the b18c1 along with the less amount of overlap as opposed to the c5 makes it the best motor to turbo unless you are just looking for a b16, which would then mean go for the a2 as opposed to the b for the same reason.

and how can you resleeve a motor, get new pistons and rods for less than $1600, I wanna shop where you are. resleeving go for around $600 if I remember correctly, and I think that is on the cheap side.
