i got a 91 Integra, i took out the B16A (origional) and put in a B16a Vtec, just because the bearings spun on the damn thing, Anyways i want to Rebuild the B18A and throw the B16a Head on the B18a, but in the future i want to throw in a turbo, what should i boost if i am going to do this? dont wanna have too much compression..

there were no b16's offered in the states for integras
its not as easy as "throw the b16a head" on there...there are certain steps you must take to have a reliable ls-vtec/frankeistain converson. tap/plug oil source, bore 14mm dowel pins/bushigs on head, block girdle, oil squiters to name a few =)
you can boost to 250hp safely (psi needed to achieve this will differ from diff. sized turbos) on a tuned set-up...maybe more. cr isnt a problem, the ls's 6800 redline is
