B18C1 is a waste of money? oooook! its not "meant" to be turbo. neither is any other honda motor that doesnt come with a turbo. thats the point, you add it.
yeah the cr is higher on a b18c1, but you run 7psi, you'll be making more power than the B20 will @ 10psi.
lowering the CR = less power = increase boost to make up for it and well.....the B20B/Z isnt known for its massive amounts of hp.
and $1200?
ive never seen them going for that cheap w/ transmission and LS intake manifold.

so lets say hes got about $5k to spend.
B18C1 and new turbo manifold would probably run about $3500 total.
still have plenty to spend.
its not really a waste of money as the Integra guy stated, it just depends if you want to build up the motor or not.
