If you want to do something that is really easy and inexpensive, just do a DOHC ZC swap. 140hp and they do well with boost.

Get an LS or first generation B16 motor.

I wouldn't go with a ZC. I would get a 1st gen B16 with a PR3 ecu.

I ran a best of 14.8@92mph with a 89 HB with I/E and full body kit with 15" wheels 195/50/15 tires, stock everything else.

BTW.... this is when I had a B16, now I have a ZC, I want VTEC dammit.

How fast do you want to go and how much are you willing to spend?
