B16 Type R sounds like the way to go. You can increase compression on an engine fairly easily, but changing the way it flows is a whole nother story, and IMHO is more important than compression, considering an engine is just a big air pump, and all it wants is air. The more you can get through it, the happier it is.

Is a VTEC conversion (which is what is going to be done) a nearly bolt on conversion? I've forgotten all the nuances of VTEC, VVT-i, etc. That's what happens when you work on pushrod engines all the time. Gotta love em. But anyway, if it's not, what else is involved?
