advice needed

i have heard many things about running a turbo with vtec. i have heard it is good, and i have heard it is bad. i plan on swapping in an engine into a 93 civic hatchback, and wichever engine i choose, either the lsvtec or just the regular ls motor, i am going to get the crower stroker kit with new valve springs and valves and retainers, as well as a port and polish of the head and i want to bore and sleeve my block. my question is, which motor would be best for the job out of the two i mentioned and out of all the b-series which would be best ?

I wouldnt go LS/vtec route. Not because its not good or whatever, but because you're building an LS which would perform quite nice w/ turbo. And if you're building it, you will get better value if you spend it on making the bottom end bulletproof.
BTW I would recomend geting a LSD for your LS trans, dont get the type-R trans because w/ turbo the gears will be too short.
just my 2 cents

I would go with the JDM B16A. i think it's the best motor honda ever made and it has alot of aftermarket support to back it up. Good luck on whatever you choose.
