Dilemma b16a or rebuild on b18a...

I have a B18...and it needs a rebuild, my question is that Eventually want to go turbo on the motor and I can't decide if I want to rebuild the b18a or get a b16a... already have the B18a motor and tranny.....the B16 is gonna run me $1600 CDN.

Things to consider.
b18a needs distributor
b18a needs to be rebuilt
b18a needs alternator
b18a needs starter


b16a comes with almost everything

What do you guys think?

rebuild the b18 if you can get it all done for close to the price of the b16......than you know that your engine is in good shape and ready for boost

Go with the B18. For what you pay for the B16 you can have a fully built B18.

Last time I checked, the B16s across the board were pushing 160-190 depending on the flavor if it be SiR or CTR.
