for a good budget fun drive swap
-D15b
-dohc zc
-d16z6

for a not so budget fun as it can get swap
-k series
-j series
-h series
-bseries (bseries can be a budget engine depending on where you are located job cash etc....around me it is not transmissions are the pricey bit)

So in the standpoint of just raw power for a eg coupe youd have to spend money to get it for a fun daily that you can get going for a little cash and possibly upgrade later down the road with fun bolt ons stay with the D series

50k huh? I will help you spend it haha jk brother. Well with a j swap you can probably get the most horsepower out of it, but i have seen a k20/k24 fully built turbo motor hit 1114hp. So its all up to you and what you want to do.

- Fri Aug 05, 2011 2:45 am #266333 Depends on how much boost you wanted to run. You can run 7-10psi on a stock motor, but if you want serious power then Sleeves, Rods, Low comp pistons, built head, valves, valve springs, either turbo cams or Stage 1 NA cams, fuel pump, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, fuel rail, better spark plugs, wires, msd all of that good shit with basic bolt ons. Yeah ha those are a few parts.

Performance shop I worked for doing swaps a few years ago ordered strictly from these people. This is who I am getting my setup from.

check out some of the other users builds, you will get a better idea what you are looking at when it comes to turbo.
