dont bother getting a type r motor. id suggest a b18a, b18b or a b20b, upgrade the head a lil and slap a turbo

any B series engine you get, you'll have to spend the money on internals to do so. You'll need low comp pistons, better rods and you'll have to sleeve the block as well.

are you in australia or washington, i'm confused. ?

My buddy has a really nice setup with a t3/t4 hybrid on his b18
He's running 7psi on stock internals; yes, he knows this is killing the engine; that's why he's building a sleeved block so he can run either 15psi or 7psi depending on what he's doing.
NX, I think he means Western Australia...
Good luck with the project man! Get some pics up when you can!

Get a B18A or B18B. You can run up to 14 psi with good tuning on the stock internals.

I'd probably get a B20B block and slap on a B16A head if I were to go turbo on a B series engine.

B20's have the weakest cylinder walls of all of them. You should really sleeve them if you plan to boost or run high compression N/A.
