Default Type R or Si Engine

Chances are when I turn 16 in a couple of months, I will either get a civic EX or a del sol. Either way I want a engine swap. I wanted a B16B jdm type r cause of its rarity, but I can not find any engine performance parts for it like intakes, cams, or turbos. Since i cant find performance parts for the engine, I am planning on getting an Si engine or a H22 prelude engine. I like the Si engine alot because there is a lot of parts for the engine including a vortex supercharger which gives a 117 hp boost but it does not come with alot of horses stock. I like the h22 alot because of its stock power but it doesnt have as many aftermarket parts as the Si. Which would you choose and do you know any sites that have B16B engine performance parts.

Also its called a vortec supercharger and its a piece of crap. It makes the 117 extra power at redline which is useless. Turbo is the way to go as far as best power. The b16b is should be kept na because of its high compression ratio.

I'm not trying to be a dick, i'm just trying to save a potentially nice car from being wrecked. It doesn't matter how great of a driver you think you are, when you are 16, you are still inexperienced and you make alot of mistakes. I don't recommend any 16 year have a nice or fast car. Buy some cheap piece of crap for your first car, wait until your a little older and more experienced as a driver, and then go out and get something nice. Be safe about it, a supercharged b16 will get you into a lot of trouble if not hurt you. I'm only telling you this because if you go out and get a nice car, invest all this money into making it fast and then wreck it, you'll be beyond pissed.
