without stock motor puts out about 160, if your intentions are to trubo it shoud be no problem to get well over 220 whp with around 5-8k b16 complete swap will run you around 16-1700 shipped. and then you can do major maods once you get it.

Well, thats not always the best idea... Different engine mods will work together, and some will counteract each other... And some are just pointless on a 220HP setup (fuel rail for instance since the stock fuel rail is fine upto 500HP)... So I wouldnt 'go nuts' just for the sake of going nuts... Just plan and buy according to your budget and goals...
The easiest way to attain 220HP is probably a boosted B16A...

B16a? B18a?? need sugestions!!
I would suggest a search.
You may have all the money in the world but not enough brains to do a search on a topic that has been beaten to a pulp daily. Tons of info on motor specs and motor combos, what is best etc....just do some research!

One motor people forgot about although cost more ia a B18C1 (Gsr) motor 170hp. You would have money left over for intake, exhaust & headers. Good luck w/ whatever you choose. Another thing IMO is a na motor will always be more reliable than turbo or supercharged.
