boost b18b or b16a
I have the b16a already installed running etc....now I dunno if I want to turbo that motor, or go for the bigger displacement already lower compression b18b as a candidate....K swap would be mmmmmmmm yummy....then there is always the b20 candidate...but I hear bad things about the walls being too thin.

but I hear they have to be sleeved to handle boost because of their thin cylinder walls.

Yeah steer away from that motor unless you have money to dump on it.

I would go B18B-C but the B16 has better rev power. But still get the 18!
