don't put in a DOHC fully built turbo setup, that'll throw off the entire balance of the car.

j/k

i would put in a b16a2 built for a turbo'd civic just because they like boost where as the b18c doesnt. there are some other b series motors to pick from like the b20 or the b18 that would be idea motors for boost.

Go for B something, id either go b16a2 or b18c5. K's are still to expensive to be worth it imo.
