Noo B Questions

ok fellas need some help here.
just sold my civic and it's time to upgrade to a new project.
i'm lookin' for a 95-98 240.
i've read some of the threads as far as swaping in a sr20 or building and boosting the stock eng. so i'm not gonna bother asking which is better and make this into one of those threads.
(unless you want to let me know which is better )
realisticly what kind of power can i get out of the boosted stock eng.?
and if i do go that route, any suggestions on the build up.
like boring it out some or not
what pistons,rods,valves,ecu,
what turbo brand/size
etc...,etc.........

tia guys.

oh, and by the way.
if anyone knows of one for sale on the east coast, NE prefferably.

holla at your boy

little bit of show, rarely see a drag strip, some light auto xing/track runs and of course the stop light runs.
