check out the swaps forum here... theres alot of info there
and your not going to get any boost from a stock honda motor. v-tec has nothing to do with boost or turbo's or superchargers...
read up on what v-tec is or search the forums here and learn about it...
as for best swap theres tons of options. price wise? b18's arent all that expensive....k-series are pricey but a better swap...plenty of options so start reading

Correct
You have a D16 in your Civic hatch,, and long behold, it's no ordinary D16, it's the vtec one... :yay:
I've seen some sick numbers with SOHC Turbo setups.... if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a swap... Read up on the capabilities of a SOHC turbo setup ( And apparently what VTEC is :doh: )

Thanx for the rude awakening, but i just found that out 
.
Its just that the majority of the guy on here usually have b16s, and kinda its rare to find someone with a d16. I found out that a sohc will get you faster torque than a dohc, because of the lightweight and lacks power. On the other hand dohc has more power lack good torque and is heavy.
And in other word your saying that a sohc can be just as fast/ever faster than a dohc
Around how much would that engine cost? As to also a b16 or 18
