Default 93 INTEGRA RS, what to do with around $2000 extra for engine??????

Hey Guys,
I just bought a 93 Integra RS with 117K miles and I have put about 2k to 3k in it cosmetically (rims, coilovers, seats, sound) and now I want to start on the engine but I have so many options:
Option #1: LS/Vtec Conversion

Option#2: B18C Swap (thinkin I might be alil more than I have)

Option#3: Turbocharge the stock LS

Option#4: Use money to rebuild and strengthen motor (pistons, rods, etc)

These are just some of the things I could do. Also this is going to be my daily driver in a college town so has to be reliable and strong. Also in the future, I do plan on turbocharging it. Anyway, help me out please. Thanks and God bless!!

If your engine was taken care of, this is the route to go!

yeah...turbo ls sounds good if your budget is around 2000...a b18c swap would cost a little more...

turbo ls man .... because to do a ls/vtec you need to built it right , or not do it at all , and b18c is like around 1900 just motor + ecu+ if your not putting it in then labor = but you get it , just do ls turbo , but also built it if you can , at least new rods ,rod bolts and rings
