If your undecided about asperation then go with the b18b. If you go n/a you can add a b18c head and make good power and if you go with turbo you'll make even better power.
the b16a is good ONLY if your boosting (IMO)....LSD is worth every penny.
about how much would it run me to get all b18b swap parts? how much for a turbo kit? and what are the benefits of ls/vtec as apposed to b16a2 or b18c1.

Cant give you an exact price on the swap but a b18b is the cheapest, then the b16a and the b18c is the most expensive of the bunch (3)...
ls/vtec gives you more hp and more tq compared to a b18c for a cheaper price. It's a bit more work, but woth it..
Turbo can run you anywhere from $1,500 + depending on what parts you choose.

so ur sayin that ls/vtec WOULD have more HP and TORQUE out of the box... or could have more power??? and how much actual work is there to swapping a vtec head onto an ls block? how much roughly to aquire all parts necessary to do a complete ls/vtec swap???
