Default What motor?

Need advice on what motor to get for my 95 civic eg. I currntly have an LS that i currently messed up. Wanting to go with something different with VTEC. Which motor would have the most HP and could handle a turbo. I a hoping to get around 300-350 HP.

and no vtec

To the op, I say if the damage isn't too bad on your LS, rebuild it for boost. If you do it right, it should be fun to have the same amount of tq as power

jsut replace the head with a Vtec head and boost it. Ls are pretty good for boosting cause they have pretty low compression

300-350 hp isn't that easy to get unless you're going for some good head/block modification.

I don't recommend a B16A.

In fact, I think you should just rebuild the LS since it's messed up anyway. It'd be much better for boost anyway, and the day-day drivability would be better.
