y8' are great if you boost em, but on the motor you need a swap. I put like 2500$ in a sohc vtec and only made 181 whp, on the motor. yest with a bolt on turbo kit and only a head gasket i put 231.

This question has been asked over and over again and everyone has there own opinions about it! But it really comes down to how much power are you really looking to gain? A sohc turbo y8 is definately a good way to go but if you want to stay na you might want to consider a swap!
