You can go with B16A with a Jackson Racing Supercharger. Should get you in the 200+ horsepower range easily. That's what I have currently in my CRX.

lol yes I could always buy another car but then that cuts out all the work I did on my current rex to just be a daily driven car I wanted it to be opposite. >.<, and it also takes out the project in my project car, not that im much of a mechanic.

lol, i was just thinking about getting the car for the parts and sell the remaining bits you dont need. especially since the 91 already has the ls swap in there.

b20b vtec
b20b= 800
vtec=500
ecu=100
tranny=600
then you got bout 2 grand to spend on type r pistons, chippin the ecu etc. pretty much better then a type r then you can say you got a suv egine and dont forget about 2.0 lol

$4000 do all bushing, suspension, alignment, tie rods, steering rack bushing then with left over money do YOUR research with what YOU want to do to the car. And go from there. All you get here is a bunch of opinions that are all different.
