Motor build confusion

I am not 100% sure if this is the right place for this thread, if so please let me know and I will gladly post it in it's correct place.
I own a 93 honda prelude with an H23 motor. The motor was built and turbocharged, but after much bad luck the timing belt snapped and my grandpa being ignorant while my parts were at his shop I must make a decision for the car. Many of my parts were ruined so now I am thinking about buying a used motor and starting over. I was going to buy another h23 and just adapt my turbo kit and fuel parts and just run low boost for awhile but I was wondering about using another motor. I know the B20B has a very low compression ratio and was wondering if this motor can handle boost well and be used in the prelude? Also will this motor bolt up to my current tranny?

Thank you for any answers and advice.

b20b will not bolt up.

You've got 3 choices (for the most part), f22, h23, h22.

Boost friendly verison is probably f22 but you could boost any of those motors. Just search in the forced induction section.

Thank you, I think I am just going to get another h23 motor and drop it in and bolt my turbo system onto that and run low boost until I can afford to rebuild my old motor.
