Default 1995 Civic DX... Questions on a swap....

Ok, I am kinda new to the scene thinking about buying a Eclipse GST 1995 with a blowm motor...for 2500 (running 11's beofre breaking) but got an offer today i couldnt refuse... a 1995 Civic DX... for about 1250. So I think I'm gonna buy it. It now has 140k on it... and would like to evnentually make it into a show car... blah blah i have high expectations.... anyway I was wondering what the POSSIBLE engine swaps are for it... mostly the ones the ones that owuld require the least headaches. Here are some things I am sure of...

1. I would like to turbocharge it..
2. It WILL be a DD and probablly never taken to track.
3. It is a MT 1.6l I-4 I do believe.. and it's a 2 door coupe.

What are the most practical swaps for the setup I'm wanting... I'm more familer with DSM's then hondas but own a 2002 Civic and love it... gonna sell it for this car. SO back to the points what are the swap possibilities ( I know theres probably a lot) Prefferably most power ect with little money, and no expectations of ever racing competivitly. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I am still looking for a decent amt of power and willing to spend a decent chunck on it. I'm more intrested in common/easier swaps then something rare thats gonna be tough to find. Thanks again in advance.... Steven.
