Default different engine options....PLEASE HELP

Ok which would be better ...i have 7k to blow.

option 1

b18c swap with
revhard turbo setup.
That will be pushing the limit as is.

option 2

b18b
pistons
rods
block gaurd
and standalone
revhard turbo kit

Now i don't even know if 7k will get me the option two or not. But which would be better, and what is going to be the difference between the two...Pros and Cons kind of thing.?

or should i do an option three and do the b18c with rods, pistons, lightened fly, clutch, all new valvetrain, manifold, header, fuel system, exhaust and cold air intake and then have to wait another 6 months before i can turbo?

Not to mention a custom set-up would be cheaper, and quite a bit more enjoyable to put together.

if you wanna spend alot of money to go very very fast and reliable i'd go option 3. but don't waste any money on all-motor parts (e.g. cold air intake, header, ect.) get a b18c, get the block bored and sleeved. pistons, rods, ect. break in the motor until you've saved anythere 3-4k for turbo parts/accessarys
OR
Stock b18b, turbo kit, hondata - cheaper but still very fast for the street
