Default Civic coupe d16y8 project

I have a 97 civic ex w/ around 85k. I bought it when it had 70k and it runs perfectly now, they where mainly hw miles put on by the previous elderly owner . I was wondering if it would be worth my money to go ahead and turbocharge it and hope the engine can take it, or swap it for a B18c1. What do you guys think i should do. Right now im just looking for a lot of boost for cheap, w/out "nos"

This has been talked about before.

It's mainly up to you. Boosted D16Z6 can definitely rip up some power.

But a motor swap would be much funner, and if you boost that, you're that much quicker.

Make your own decisions, they will become the best of your interest.
