get a d16z6 and put a turbo kit on it. your looking at $2,000 if done right and you'll be pretty fast.

what are you looking for? drag, autox, daily driver?

h22 turbo-drag
b18 sc-autox
b18c1-dailydriver

and the turbo d16z6 isn't a bad idea either. what is in the car now?

And you think those choses above haven't been done to death either?

It's your car and you have to drive it. Pick the motor and setup that fits you.
If you like turbo then go that route or stick n/a. But n/a is not cheap.

I prefer n/a so out of the chosew above i'd go with the built b18c1.

H22, but will be expensive if you turbocharge. Trust me. It's expensive. I know cuz I have one! Drag wise, if you do it all right, your car should be quicker than most cars cept the guys that decide to put like 30-50k into their bseries.

heres a choice...sell your 92 4 door, take that money, plus your 5k and buy yourself a much nicer ride.
