so, i voted for the boosted d-series, then a b18c1 a close second.
He gave me this mag; I'm planning a junkyard turbo for my CRX. It's a great article.

I'd personally go for a boosted z6, or a DOHC ZC swap. With the ZC, you get pretty much the same performance of the B16, but without the "headache" of the D to B swap. And both options are reasonably priced.

If I were to go B and didn't care about money, I'd go LS/VTEC. But, on a budget, the LS motor is more than enough to pull you around.
