Default New engine, other ideas

Ok, I've decided to run with my honda; instead of giving 20+ K to a dealer for a slow, boring, and un-original (read "new") car, Im gonna drop it into my 94 accord to create a one of a kind ride.... plus i like the idea of a 25K honda blowing away pretty much any car on the street. I'm puttin a tein ss coilover setup this week, then saving up for the engine.

Im willing to spend good money on an engine, and I'm thinking H22 bored out to 2.5 or 2.7 liters. Anyone have any experience with enlarged engines for hondas? Should i go this route (pricey) or stick with the stock size? Side note: Im also going to be replacing all internals to make it ready for a good dose of boost ( around 25 psi).

I am also contemplating how to get the power to the ground as the car is sure to be traction limited. Is a limited slip front differential enough? I was looking into an all wheel drive conversion for the accord... has this ever been done? Basically, i have a bunch of ideas, and the sooner i figure some out, the sooner I can get headed in the right direction. Any comments, advice, or suggestions would be appreciated (except if you are going to tell me spending 20-25K on a honda is stupid...cause frankly thats not constructive... I've made up my mind).


I know I left a lot out... (transmission, clutch, cv joints, ECU, exhaust, etc.... I was just trying to get my biggest questions out of the way here) Thanks!
