'99 Civic HX motor Swap
Hey, so I'm new here, and I've just recently gotten into the Honda Scene. This past summer I got my first honda, a 99 HX, I love that little car, but I've gotten bored with the d16y5 motor fairly quickly.
I've been looking around for a better motor, something that would at least give me a fighting chance out on the road (or at least smoke a lot of the stock mustangs around here, they're everywhere.)
I've been thinking about a B16A with a turbo kit, or a B16B supercharged... possibly.
Can I get some advice on which would be the most cost effective yet still give me something to make my mark on the road?
My first goal is 200hp, what would be the best way of achieving that?

Re: '99 Civic HX motor Swap
Not sure, the motor has about 170,000 miles on it, but the way it runs I'm confident in about another 100,000 if I treat this car right. I'm getting beautiful fuel economy on it, so I'm not sure if I'm simply going to hold onto it just in case or not.
