B20b w/ B16a head swap

what kinda power would i be looking at if i got this swap? and is it pretty easy to put this engine in with the b16a head? how would this setup respond to turbocharging?

the reason i want a B20z is because it has the torque that i want, but i dont know how it will perform with the b16a head and how hard it is to swap the head etc. i also want a setup that will respond well to turbocharging, what kind of psi would i be able to run with stock internals?

i would just do the frankenstein without the turbo. The B20's have too high of compression for turbo.

well if i do a cr-vtec thing, which im still trying to figure out what combinations are best, i would be able to get the compression ratio down but still ahve the good torque so i can turbo it...right? and how much would a decent cr-vtec setup cost

ive read most of that site, i still dont know what combos produce what kind of torque, hp, and what kind of compression they have, if crvtec.com does have this i didnt find it.
