id say stick with the LS motor. one, youll find it for a bit cheaper, and two, its alot better for daily driving especially with the loss of bottom end power from the turbo(retarded timing/extra fuel). as far as trannies go the best tranny id say is a gsr tranny. the gearing is right in between an LS and B16. and if you want vtec down the road its not very hard to slap an vtec head on there.

Thanks for the help, Overall i think imma go with the b18b. I like the idea of maybe doing Ls/vtec down the road or something or just keeping it stock for a daily driver with turbo. Should be pretty fast....drag 3 kit, B18b in my 93 honda civic cx....
