Default Engine Swap in 99 EX

Hey guys, I have a 99 Civic EX Coupe. I was wanting to swap engines in future. Looking for a fast, daily driver. I want to turbo. I would like a nice range of aftermarket parts. What engine series should I get?? I was thinking on B or K.

the real question is how much money do you wanna spend, and what type of power goals do you have in mind?

Same question. I wanna keep it around $5k. Except I dunno about the turbo, can you safely run a turbo as a daily driver? Also, anyone in Michigan wanna help? Beer will be supplied and you can have my sister for a couple weeks, she is the number 4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan. ......or should I just take it somewhere?

I want to just about anything on the road. About money I would like to keep it cheap, but I'll be saving up for it and it's going to take a while either way.

You could definatly swap / forge / & turbo for 5k.

A turbo setup can definatly be used for daily use, as long as you have the car tune'd proerly, it will drive like a stock car, other than the additional power.

I'd be willing to do the job if you brought it down here to OH
