Posted this in OT, too-

I do this every six months or so- change my mind as to what direction I want to go with my motor. I know I'll never get the power I want out of my B18A, NA. So I'm going to have to make a sizable investment in order to get some real power. So what should I do? All three would be about the same price initially.

Turbo- power off the bat. 220 hp. Quick and easy. That, and I love the sound a BOV makes.

JDM H22- not as much power initially, around 170 hp to the wheels. The advantage is that the engine is still stock, and I can always add power with a good all motor build or a turbo later.

B18C- Not nearly as much power initially, around 145 hp. The advantage is that the swap will be easier, and I can put my B18A back in when I decide to sell the car, if I need to. Also, there are WAY more parts for the B18C- especially cams and valvetrain components.

All about $3500-$4000. So what do you guys think?
