Turbo my prelude, or build a second car?

[99CBMlude]

So, as the title says I have hit a crossroads. Either I keep dumping money into my prelude, or I move on to bigger and better things. Currently I have no real performance mods in the lude. Coilovers in the mail, neuspeed strut bar, intake, and that’s really it. So I would start from scratch for the build. I have a few options that I’m currently entertaining. First one if to turbo the lude, second is to get a 3rd gen Camaro and swap something ridiculous in it(possibly an ls1), third is to get a 240 and do an engine swap, finally fourth is to get a 2nd gen 4wd turbo eclipse and build that up a bit.

For the lude I currently have an entire build planned, sleaved H22 block, new pistons, and rods. Reuse my current head. Get an ebay turbo kit (flame on I know) without the actual turbo, pick up a turbo elsewhere, 3inch exhaust to an OBX replica twin loop, new clutch and flywheel, new tensioner and water pump ext. I can get all the labor for free minus the exhaust. I was planning on spending around 3,000. But, that’s 3 grand for only an extra 150 whp, front wheel hp at that. And for that much money I kinda want something faster, and rwd, or awd. Which lead me to plan 2

A 3rd gen camaro, or something similar, with a swap. I figure I can get a rolling shell in decent condition for around a grand, than spend 2-3 grand on an engine and transmission. Again, this is assuming free labor from friends.

Third option would be a 240 rolling shell/one already with a swaped engine, and than do whatever I can with the money I have left over. Haven’t put to much thought into this option yet.

And finally, my buddy is trying to get me to 2nd gen turbo eclipse. He claims that I can get it to run 13’s with only a grand or so of parts. However, I don’t like the look of them.

As a side note, all of these options include me keeping the prelude as a daily driver. Possibly selling off a few of my parts like my leather seats and other random accessories to fund the build, but keeping the car.

To recap I want to go faster than I currently am, and I want to spend around 3 grand, and I don’t know how I want to do it. I want to start all this in the spring, so I have time to shop around and get good deals on parts as soon as I figure out what I want.

Any ideas, comments, experiences, or suggestions would be appreciated.
