do your research.
It's kinda hard for us to give you info when you leave out your budget, what kinda power you want N/A, etc.

get a b18c1 (gsr) and boost it. Get some arp headstuds 650cc injectors, fuel pump and a turbo kit.

I still thing a B20 is the greatest swap... combined with a B16A2 tranny. Overall, I just think that swap is the bee's knees 
Runs on 87 gas, returns 500 kms per tank, will last forever, and has plenty of part throttle passing power for city driving. And is cheap to put in, and requires no special wiring or anything.
B20 is a very clever choice!

I'm guessing thats why it took him like 8 months to finish it.
