RE: b20/b16a
i have a b16/b20 engine. the cylinders walls are fine to 300 horse if tuned correctly. the b20 will supply more torque and more potential than a b16. it's a powerful engine. it's a toss up really either way you go. the b20 requires a plug in a hole on the head deck surface and a oil line from the block to the head. you also need a b18/b20 timing belt, head gasket and, the head or block machined for dowl pins. Golden Eagle make dowels pins that fit with no maching to either part, i suggest these. if your options are turbo a stock b16 or build a b20vtec i would turbo the b16 if you plan to stop there. if you want to hit 300+ whp go with a 2 liter.

More potential... no way in hell. Not without a full internal rebuild.

Yeah, so are D15B1s... you can say that about anything. But not for boost. If you're pushing anywhere near 250+ whp for more than a month with no problems and can show me a dyno sheet to back it up, I'll believe you. But I'm not talking out of my *** when I say that they have a lot of problems.
More torque... yes

i agree. pushing 250+ is not healthy on either a stock b16 or a b20vtec.. but a b20 will hit nearly 200 whp na with a a better powerband for less than a turbo b16.

what do you expect to spend on a b16 turbo set-up? 2500 to get in the door?
