Default swap or start from scratch

im going to do a h22 swap in my accord, but i will want to go turbo maybe a year afterwards when i get the money... how much more expensive would it be to start off with a block and build the motor from scratch.. i wouldnt do this alone im 16 and still need to learn a lot about engines but i have friends who would help... i was curious becuase i will prob have to replace plenty of things like pistons when i want to go turbo so would i be better off doing that now or later?? idk if i make any sense but any input would be appreciated, thanks

if your gonna turbo it, i'd say build the motor from the bottom up, so you can lower the compression to run higher boost with the turbo.

Do the swap, enjoy the ride. Then when you have the money pull the motor and build it......add boost..... kick ***
