Ok, ive got your plans covered.
(strictly engine performance).
To whoop up on every mustang and camero you see, you'll need:
1). A B16A1 engine - it has a cable transmission and will mount directly into your engine bay, so you do not need to buy a mount kit.
*you will have to get your ignition wired for VTEC (not VTECH) because your stock igintion will not adapt to the cam-changeover that occurs while in VTEC
2). Get your new engine checked out by mechanics - if it is mechanically sound it will be able to support a turbo kit.
*You will need a RevHard stage II turbo kit - it comes with a T3/T4 Hybrid turbo and all of the neccessary equipment to make sure it will not hurt your car. (yes, even an MSD system)
3). You will need a 3inch catback Exhaust - this will help your car by decreasing backpressure and will work well with the turbo.
*************That's it for performance, now just redo your suspension - new springs, shocks, struts, wheels, tires, and your breaks so you dont die with all this new power.
With those mods, you will crush anything that gets in your way (for the most part).
The turbo kit should not be set to boost more than 8-9psi (pounds of boost) because your engine will not run reliably on more than that because your internals are still completely stock.
--this is based under the assumption that you have a decent but not unlimited ammount of money.
the engine i listed you use is the best suited engine for your car - other people on this board will say to use a GSR motor, but the B16A1 will be more than enough for your tiny hatch. (not to mention the GSR costs much more money)
