im looking to build a head that will support my b16a2 that will be boosted looking to make good mid range power?

Most turbo engines aren't designed for mid range...........

Generally speaking,

Low-Mid= Blower

Top end= Turbo

No,

You can have a low end range with the correctly chosen turbo (of course its never going to be instant) as it is the same with mid-end etc. It all depends on what the car is going to be used for.

Your power/quater mile goals are easily acheived with the stock engine internals, decent turbo setup and minor weight reduction.

Theres heaps of info on turbo charging B16A's. Have a search please.

Good luck on your 12 sec pass it's not as easy as you think. Anyways if you're building a b16 for turbo it's not really the head you have to conentrate on. Bottom end is where it's at for boost.

Like fishman said, it's not really the head that you are looking at when boosting. Sure, ported polished etc will always make you extra power, but it's really money you don't need to spend.

The best set of cams you can buy for a B16A with boost is ITR cams (I actually have set from when I was going to boost my B16 - PM me if you're interested). I did extensive research and even spoke to some US guys to find this out and 8/10 of them all said the same thing - ITR cams.
