In my opinion, buy a b16a complete changeover. Invest in a set of forged pistons and rods. A set of valvesprings and retainers wouldn't be a bad idea either. Then get yourself a nice T3/T04 setup with a high pressure fuel pump and some 550cc injectors. Tune with Hondata and 300 whp shouldn't be a problem at all.
Granted, turning a N/A motor to turbo isn't the best idea, but it is done. High-comp. with a LS block sounds like best bang for the buck. Turbo on any Honda is pointless unless you have money to re-build the entire motor just to hold 7 psi. Alota money, not a whole lotta power.
