Okay first and foremost thanks for looking.

okay so I've been thinking bout which direction to take my hatch should I save money and swap to a b series or turbo my lil sohc..

I kinda leaned towards turbo, for one, it peaks my interest to see what a lil sohc motor can do before needing to upgrade the power train to keep up with everyone...lol, and second I like to be able to say you just got beat by a sohc...

So before anyone try to say ""don't waste your time and money on a sohc and just go b series.."

I don't want to, well at the moment I don't. I wanna see what my lil sohc can do before needing to upgrade to a bigger motor.

So after all that is said. what recomendation, setups, and upgrade should I do before tryin to boost. Should I swap for a vtec first or keep non vtec. If vtec, whole swap or minime swap. Swap my tranny for the ex/si or keep my dx tranny.

Which turbo would you think is better?

Upgrade the valvetrain, crank, cams, port/polish.(if possible location of shop and pricing)

What limits can be obtained before internal upgrades are required, and how much can it take then..

I got the genereal idea just wanna see what inputs everyone else has.

i originally boosted my sohc non-vtec with the thought that it would quickly blow and i would swap a b-series...that was almost 6 years ago. most of it's life it's been 200+whp 200+wtq and the past month 250whp 230wtq. we have another stock internaled soch non-vtec that's daily driven in the 220whp range as well.

results will vary based on how well you take care of/have taken care of your motor and your selection of components.

if you want something that's in the 180-200whp range daily driven and reliable the sohc can take it.

turbo selection is based on power needs(wants) and budget. Let us know these points and you'll get some good info.
