Honda motor build options?

[Civic Man]

I have three options right now and i am stuck. I can build my current d16y8 motor to hold 20 pounds of boost (rods pistons head studs) and it will cost about $1600 with 340whp. My other option is turbo ls vtec holding 10 pounds on stock internals which will cost about $3000 and make about 350whp. My third option is build the ls vtec to hold 20 pounds of boost and have close to 500 whp but it will cost almost 5 grand. i already have my d series turbo kit with ten pounds but i want more. Your thoughts on what i should do?

If you can squeeze that much power of a little 1.6L 4 banger, imagine what you could do to a bigger engine?

I'd sell the car. For the money you would spend on the turbo and parts for the engines, plus the money you get for the car you can buy a REALLY fast car. 300zx, anyone?

Stay with the D16 since it'll be the best bang-for-your-buck.
