Question engine build-up, mini me conversion or b16/b18

I have a 96 civic dx with a d16y7 5 speed. I want to build my car up some that I can strap on a turbo and be able to boost at 12 to 14 lbs without having to worry about a blown engine. I need to know what is better to go with, doing a mini me conversion or swapping a b16 or b18. I dont have alot of money though.

b18b (LS motor) is your best bet. How much hp are you looking to make and what turbo are you using?

You'd be hard pressed to get 12psi amd 300ish from a straight T3 with as you say "not a lot of money".

B18 huh?

Thank for your input. I have been thinking about doing a frankenstein setup but I dont really know everything that I would need. I would much rather build up a B18 and then swap it in and turbo charge it and have it fine tuned. Then I think I would be right.
