Question Engine swap info needed

Hi I am new to the Honda platform. I have just swirched from the blue oval. I picked up a 92 civic dx 1.5l 5 speed m/t. I am wondering what engine options are best to upgrade to. I do want to put a turbo setup on it and would like to know the best options on that also. Im not shooting for a competition race car, just something with more balls the 102 hp. The car has some aftermarket performance suspension but this thing is gutless as it sits now.

I buy all my engines from Engine World Inc in Houston. They are the best place to buy JDM motors. !

Any D-series engine will bolt right in and because it's so similar a ZC will too. There's quite a bit of potential in a ZC turbo. You could also swap in a B16A. It's a little more expensive and slightly more challenging, but the outcome is always good.
