^ you won't have 200 hp with ANY swap.... unless you get a REALLY good running type R... but that's certainly not 3500...

also I'm not trying to insult you but I think you should save the money and do a LOT more research... you don't want to jump into this by throwing money and praying...

there should be a plan based on YOUR knowledge and experience of what you want in the long run and the best way to go about it...

if you ask me making any non-vtec into a vtec is a silly idea... if you want vtec get a vtec block... the non-vtec blocks are NOT designed for high reving and generally don't last too long... sure you COULD be the exception but I HIGHLY doubt it...

If I were you I'd get a gsr or ls swap... if you go ls, the turbo down the line should get you to whatever goals you have if you have the money...

Same goes for the gsr but with a little more cost up front but more power and the ability to hold the gears for a little longer...

In my opinion the best thing to do would be to figure out what YOU want.. by reading and doing research not by just asking what someone else thinks...

just my .02
