Lightest motor with power and low compression?

[DoubleOcivicSI]

This is needed for my 00 civic si. I know i could turbo the b16a2, but what is the most hp i will get out of it? I dont wanna be stuck at a level of hp i can't pass, and still not be satisfied.

So you want the motor that is lightest in terms of weight, makes the most power, and has low compression?

As far as weight goes, there isn't much of a difference between Honda motors. If you want your car lighter, I you should probably think about shaving a few pounds elsewhere instead of worrying about how much your motor weighs.

As far as power goes, you can make as much as you want. It's all about how much you are willing to spend and how far you are willing to go with your build.

The ability to make power isn't limited, it's the $$ that goes into it that runs out.

It depends on how far your willing to go with the build. Build the head/block and sleeve that b***h and your going to have a car capable of power you won't be able to drive anywhere but the track.

Ive always liked the idea of a B20 turbo

Power isn't everything. The b20 has torque. Torque is nice. Not to mention displacement, for which there is no replacement.

b20's have thinner sleeves...so you have to be careful.
