dude...you dont have a clue about swaps...total honesty

for the money, the b18b is the best swap for boost that there is.
its already low comp so its great for boost, inexpensive, nonvtec so there is less strain on the motor at all times. Go visit honda-tech and say that...you will be banned within minutes...if not owned entirely. for the price of ls and custom turbo you could spend under 3k and beat a shit load of cars including c5's.

b20 is a very torque-y motor and great if you just want that. Ive done research on them recently, and tue, they do appear not to last long after crvtec as a daily driver, but they are a great nonvtec boost motor, or great for race. A simple b20 bottom and a type r/ported b16 head and you "should" be able to run mid to low 13's with the right tuning...sounds like a type r motor to me.

so think and do some research before you talk shit about the underdogs/hidden treasure b's

non-vtec power
I give props to the swapped b18b's and the b20's
