Full engine build and explain why you used the bore, stroke, cams, rods, bearings, etc you did. You could port, polish, flow bench the head. Custom build a new chassis from tubing like you'd use for a dune buggy.

Design a header and exhaust system, or better yet a turbo setup, that is matched to your needs.

If you want to get real in depth, you could spend 15 hours just researching header design.

So your intercooler is on the car now, with no turbo?

My opinion is you should finish the turbo setup.
BTW, posting your phone number is a bad idea.

I like the buggy Idea...

Put the motor in the back, have a honda-powered RWD tube chassis vehicle. My buddy has a buggy with a d16y8 in it. Pretty damn quick too.

Pick up another motor and totally build it all up from scratch. The motor will be cheaper and it will be more time towards the project and another place to fudge numbers on if you're a couple hours short or whatever.
I've seen and even had a D15B7 I was going to give away, it just needed rings and valve seals. I mean, really. That's like a $70 repair or like $200 to totally rebuild.

it'd be awesome to make a billet engine. Now THAT would earn you lot's of respect here.
