Default Best Engine swap for my 90 crx

I am a proud owner of a 1990 honda crx and i was just wandering what possible engine swaps are there for my car. Money is no option, im just having trouble trying to find possible swaps for my car. If anyone has any tips just email me at Jefferytodd18@yahoo.com i look forward to anyone's reply.

Do you mean money is no object?

I suggest a B swap. Great power and still pretty inexpensive. If money is no object, buy a B18C from http://www.hmotorsonline.com and build it up for a turbo. Or you can keep it NA and put some nice bolt on upgrades and get some minor headwork.

Browse the CRX, forced induction, and naturally aspirated forums to see what people have done to their B series engines. Youll learn quick (hopefully) and get inspired as to what you want to do.
