hey guys, i have to engine i can pick from but can only have one.
ones a b18a1, and the other is a b20a6

im looking to go turbo and make a pretty quick car.
no cost of labour has nothing to do with anything cuz i can do it all myself.

just wondering which engine would be best suited for turbo build and which would be better for parts availability and cost or parts. ( which would be cheaper etc)

thanks btw this is going into a eg civic hatch. and is manual

b18b1 for the thicker bottom end to support the turbo =D

B18 for stronger bottom to turbo, but if you decide to stay NA get the B20 bottom and buy my spare B16A head.
