Default DOHC V6 vtec in a 5th gen. honda prelude?

I've heard the H22A isn't the best for turboing and plus its a 4 cyl. I want some real power in my prelude so I thinking maybe I could stick a vtec V6 in there and customize a twin turbo setup and send all those kids who think preludes are slow packing. I was thinking about the 03-05 6spd vtec V6 from the accord but its only a sohc. Then I was thinking an acura NSX 3.2 Dohc vtec V6 because they already make twin turbo setups for it. But is it possible to swap a mid mounted engine in a 5th gen. prelude? Also can you think of another Dohc vtec V6 with a 6pd that i could swap in?

says who? .. if you have tons of money and lots of time, the C30A1(sohc vtec, V6) would be a pretty awesome project .. .. also you have to think about suspension setup .. also throws in the factor of having money .. but the key to boost is the tuning ..
