frankly, the way I see it (budgeting myself) if you're gonna spend the money for a swap and a turbo, what's the trouble in saving some coin for a lil while longer, getting the proven better and faster engine, and then moding that with your induction of choice?

put it this way, get something that is ok right now, or just be patient, wait a lil longer, and get something that is out and out bad ass. I've been jonesin for a swap for months now, I have the money for a SOHC V-tec, (D16z6), but I can champ at the bit for another month er so to save some more for the b16a2. Plus, that gives you more time to squirrel away some cash for modifications to compliment the new engine.

patience is a virtue my friend, let the yahoos beat you at the stop lights and race tracks for a lil while longer, and then by the end of summer, you'll have an engine and car that can anihilate anything they bring to the line. Hell, if you're patient enough, you might even consider saving for a b18c1, H22a1, or get crazy with a CRV-tec. trust me, great things are worth waiting for.
