Lol motor swaps are my all time favorite posts to answer about. just to make sure im clear you have both a b18 and B16 correct? heres what i would personally do Take the B18 block and put darton sleeves in it with a 2.0 stroker kit (they aren't easy to find but not impossible either) thats the bottom end of the motor (should be able to handle up to about 18PSI pretty well next use the B16 head and rebuild the head (my favorite company is skunk2 but you can choose whichever your prefer) get a good exhaust (i like megan or DC) next comes the intake/throttle body, injectors and fuel rail (Fuel Lab and Edlebrock makes some good parts) from there all you need is the turbo kit of your choice and a good Ecu (Hondata S300 is hands down the best EVER!!!!!) if you have any questions just let me know ill be happy to answer them

 

18 psi wow thats amazin imma do everything u said it might take me a while but its done now should i take the b16 head and put on the b18 block everybody says that the 16 head flows betters also how hard is it to switch heads over thank you so much for your help it is greatly appreciated

 

yes use the B16 head with the B18 block and i hope you enjoy the set up
