If your going to make it high compression, why not convert it to LS/VTEC. Whats a B16 head cost? $200+/-. Better yet, why not just go for a B16 and build it? Its made to rev, the B18B is not. Even if you do the LS/VTEC fully built(internals) its not recommended to rev past 7800 because the B18B's rod to stroke ratio is garbage; like 1.54:1 to where the B16 is 1.74:1. For a street car 1.75:1 is considered perfect. The lower you go from that the less there gonna rev, or should I say its more likely to throw a rod. A B16 with a turbo kit packing 8psi of boost with a 2.75-3.00" exhaust, FMIC, 8200rpm redline; <----WICKED
