B18 FTW. Torque at 3k and plenty of potential for turbo.

Turbo and tune your D15. Did bone stock d15b with ebay kit and made 250whp/200 tq. Lots of fun and should last a few years at that level.

Otherwise swap in an B18b (LS) and boost that just the same. Both are very reliable, cheap, and can be found in any junkyard when you need parts quickly.
