yeh u gotta look at reliability if that worries u at all too..... cos anything turbo is gonna give u alot more hassles than an n/a engine.. and u'll hav to keep spending more and more money on a turbo.. guess it depends wat u want... as ppl hav said ur gonna have better handling if u stick wit a turbo b16... depends wat u want...

now to be fair a properly set up turbo with a good tune isn't going to be significantly less reliable than the h22... if you keep up on the maintenance, all should be well

it must have been a somewhat more recent addition to their line up, as I know for a while they didn't

yes thats true.. its usually the maintenance thats a little more expensive though.. if u do it right from the start though, u'll definitely avoid a lot of trouble..

Since you already got a B16 i don't think it's really worth it to swap in a B18CR. You've got an excellent engine to work with, just do some research and find ways to make it quicker. The B16 has pleanty of potential, there should be a bang for bux thread on top of the civic section.
