Hi guys, new to this forum, and I'll give you some quick background. Currently, I own a 99 Z28 that makes close to 400rwhp, I did all the work myself so I'm pretty mechanically inclined. My plan is to sell this and buy a Honda, with the help from you guys. I want to turbo this Honda, and I will be doing 90% of the work myself. My requirements are as follows...

-It needs to be manual
-Preferably around 2500lbs from the factory
-Will mainly be used as a daily but may take it to the track should I feel it is worthy
-Don't have a problem replacing engine internals, but I need a car that has a strong block from the factory, as in the actual block itself, not the rotating assembly
-Looking for 400whp
-I'd like to go with a preferably large turbo for top end spool, not concerned about low end power

These cars are fairly cheap to work on so budget is not a problem, but I'm not throwing 10k into this, like to do the work for around 3-4K. I want to but all my own turbo parts for the build, but first I need help choosing what car would be the best to start with? No K20, that's my only exception. I'm a domestic guy so I know very little about imports, but I want a cheap summer project, so give me some help here, thanks everyone!

Probably get way more feedback in the forced induction section. That area is more geared towards street car builds.

Thanks man, will do! I mean this car is still a street car, but I'll go check over there
