Way too general of a question. Figure out how much power you're looking for, and be realistic. Is this going to be a daily driver, street/track, or strictly track car. Do you know anyone who can tune your car once the work is done (because you will need someone who knows what they're doing)? Figure out a realistic amount of $ you're willing to spend, again be realistic. For some people; it's nice to think that spending $15k-20k on a car is within their range, but for most people it's not realistic at all. To do it right, it will probably end up costing at LEAST $7k-8k to build the engine, a turbo kit, and engine management/tuning. And the only way to get a lot of power is turbo (to answer your "what kind of mods question). Those are all things you need to think about before asking what you should do. I also agree that the d15b7 is a horrible base engine to work off of. The more hp the engine has stock, the better it is to work off of. However, the d16z6 or d16y8 are good engines to build off of. The extra 19hp may not seem like much, but the quality of the engine is a whole lot better. A turbo z6 or y8 can be a very powerful and economical choice (economical in the sense that it is fairly inexpensive in regards to price of the engine and parts).
