I got a 1997 Honda Civic DX 2 door coupe fully loaded from a friend who wrecked the front end for $500. I got the front straightened out for the most part. Its my daily driver (I don't drive much LOL). I want to get it close to 200HP for under $2000. I am a ASE certified Tech and can do all the work myself but I am used to fixing regular cars and don't really mess around too much with high performance applications. I understand what can be done but I am looking for some folks with experience so i don't go wasting money on my stock 150k stock 1.6L drive train. I am sure I will be swapping motor, trans and maybe some suspension and electrical. I would like to know whats a good motor for this to build up? I would like to turbo it and my budget I realize may need to increase but that's the goal I am shooting for. So I am open to suggestions?
