if you want to go all-motor you should consider an ls/vtec swap. I've had mine for about 3,000 kms and the swap turned my car from a high 15 second quarter mile to a high 13/low 14 second car. If you want to go turbo, i've seen some crazy fast sohc motors that have been boosted, or you could drop a b18a/b for cheap and turbo that. One of the fastest civics in my city (the owner built my motor) is an ls/vtec turbo in a civic coupe. It dynoed at 318 whp and 240 lbs/trq.
