Default Turbo vs. all motor

hi everyone, this is Coop's girlfriend, i'm using his name because i don't have one, and he's at Army Boot Cmp, and i need answers.
i was wondering if i should boost my Z6 and go with that, or to swap with a b16a, and to dress up that with the exterior and stuff. what would be better in the long run?? sorry if this seems like a "newb/noob" question, i'm still new at this stuff. thanx guys

p.s. i have a 95 civic ex coupe, nothing really going on engine wise but an aem sir.

Depends on your budget, and who would be installing the motor/turbo.

Then go turbo as it will be much cheaper, and you could get more power from a turbod SOHC than a stock B16. HEd save a decent amount of $ by installing his own turbo as opposed to haveing a shop do a motorswap.,

I'd say it depends on your goals, willingness to spend money

but the b16 would probably last longer if it was kept relatively stock with just minor bolt ons

The driver has alot to do with it also, even a honda engine will fail when it is beat on all the time no matter how good a setup or tune is.
