Default built D or stock B for boost

i have been thinking about selling my car and buying a 92-95 hatch but can't decide on and engine. i was thinking about getting a D with vtec and filling the block and getting rods, pistons, and crank. but on the other hand for about the same price i can get a stock B16 and probly run about 10 psi safely. both will be boosted just want opinions about what others would do.

thanks for the input.

It's preference. B's are way hotter and rev higher and have tons more power NA and can handle lots of boost in stock form. Not to mention they can spool bigger turbos. Built D? Yeah, they're alright I guess.

Since you will be blowing the motor up
Go with a D series. Parts availability and price.
