Default Looking for input... what would you build?

I am not asking what is better etc.
It seems most like top end power (who wouldn't) in the FI here.
My question is what setup would you guys/gals build for a autocross/street car?
Car: 00 Ex Civic
Budget: 7-8K roughly. More if needed.

I am looking to a keeping the sohc, or swapping in a b18b and boosting.
What turbo setup would you running on either?

List away.

For atuo-x, you'd probably want to stick with a smaller turbo for quicker spool. Maybe a T3...

In my opinion I would stay NA for autocross.

i'm not dr autocross and i have never pretended to be.............but i would first consider a new car. a coupe isn't the best. if thats not what you wanted to hear, then i'd consider a b20 block, keep the non vtec head and add a mild cam(maybe the 62403" from crower) springs/retainers/8000 rev limit(or maybe 7500-7800 to be safe) type r tranny w/ lsd and a jrsc. the torque this car would have would be excellent for autocross i would think. just don't try to race anyone on the highway.
