If your going to stick with All motor, go b20.. I wouldnt hit it with any nitrous at all either.

I can count off 5 people local (including myself) who have had b20's that have cracked sleeves when going Turbo or Nitrous.

I suppose a mild setup on a b20 wouldnt be to bad, with some real conservitive timing on the top end would be fine. But me personally I would just end up blowing it up because thats the way I am. I just keep pushing and pushing until they are dead. Boost feels good

i still say go for an all motor LS/vtec with ITB's and type R cams, or spoon, mugen or skunk, hell even ZEX makes good cams.

No. He needs to save all his money for a turbo setup. A basic Ls/Vtec will be fine.

On second thought a cam and some ITB's would be pretty cool.

while i dont have the idea fresh in my head, I belive you have to take the 84mm cylinder bore going into the 81mm combustion area of the head into consideration.
Ive heard people say leaving it as is is better and other saying match porting it is best.
I say get whatever is cheaper.
