Default Turbo which engine?

I am planning to turbo a Honda engine, but am unsure which one. I have talk to some friends and they have said either a B18B, B18C, or H22A. But which (any Honda engine) would be the best to turbo and to get at least 550hp out of? Thank you for your replies.....

Any one of those engines will need to be built to handle 550hp, so then you might want to decide which is cheepest to build and factor in initial cost as well.

Personally I wouldnt pick any of them, IMO 550hp is too much in a FWD, again, just my opinion.

best honda engine for boost is either a b18b if you want it to be easy, or a k24 if you want it to be hard.
