Sweetie it all depends on how much money you want to spend. Do you want to just do some basic bolt ons on your stock motor or do you really want to swap in a different motor? If youre wanting to swap then there are several different options. Try looking up all these motors to compare them and read about them. D15, D16, B16, B18B, B18C1, B18C5, B20, K20. Those are your most popular swaps.

fast and cheap do not belong in the same sentence

a swap for any b series is going to be at least $2000. you can boost your current engine for a little under that if you piece together your own kit, but you need lots of research at this point to even attempt this.
