Default Cheapest and Most reliable way to hit high 13's ?

Hows it going . IM new to this forum as i just purchased a 93 civic si hatch . Its gonna be my daily driver so i want it to be reliable , but fast at the same time . What would be my best way to seek the power ? Going with an all motor setup , or building up a small turbo system ? Im looking for it to be a high 13 sec, daily driver. I want to make sure its a turn key and go car , and emnot lookin for constant problems . What engines would you suggest for the swap ? Anyone ........... thanks

Yes sir. You can get to the 13s quite a few different ways, but the most reliable ways aernt necessarily the cheapest.

civic si 2000..... thanks for the input .........
ricey .... I was going for the fast and reliable out of the 3 since I have a boy that can get the engines cheap ......I was thinking about either a gsr bolt ons....maybe turbo .....ls vtec turbo........ or an all motor h22 ........not a big fan of nitrous ........thanks..... which one do you think would be the furthest away from hassles ? somewhere in the middle between speed and reliability???

Least hassle, B18C5 stock, mid to low 13's... daily driven.....

Ls vtec turbo not cheap or reliable, if done correctly.

Well if your "Boy" can get engines cheap, why don't you just go thru them all and find one you like..........

How about a bone stock H-22, with a I/H/E that would be cheaper than a B-18C5 swap... and have more room for improvement
