250WHP is attainable with a stock internal turbo B16.i'd go H22 just for the torque-or even a bigger displacement B-series motor.i just don't like the lack of low end power with the B16,although his power goals are certainly possible with it-i just think having a lot more out of boost torque is much more fun.

boost the b16. go with a slightly smaller turbo to pick up some midrange, and give up a few ponies around redline.

i would do gsr/itr or h22a. I dont like b16 either. U said u could get that H swap for 1000 i would jump on that and with the left over $$ get what u need to put it in.

yea if you can do this, then by all means go for it. most h22 <U>complete</U> swaps are $5-6K.

H22 swaps aren't even close to 5-6k lol... Look here is a complete changeover for $2200... http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...30016 They have weak ringlands anyways, so there not the best motor to be boost a lot on.

I am a big sohc fan, but if he already has the b16, just go with that. Swap an LS block in there if you want more torque, but I am sure the b16 turbo will be just fine.

i'd sell the first gen B16 and get somethign newer.
