I tried to block that post outta my mind, because I woulda went HT on him. I got a warning last time I did that.
Still, let me skip the stupidity of that post once more. A 2.0l can have 900 hp, 111 hp, 2000 hp, 23 hp. Like I said, you build it to your specifications. I wanted a bossted LS, and I wanted 250 hp. My goal was very realistic, and it was on a realistic budget. I paid no more than 3k for the whole setup including the car. And I got exactly what I wanted out of it.
It also depends on what car it's going into, if it's a civic or integra, your h22 idea isn't the best option IMO. Stick with the b series in this case. For one it's a much simpler swap, and believe me they have PLENTY of potential. Another reason is they have tons of aftermarket parts available so you can reach your goal.
Again, we can't even estimate what kinda hp you could make. I mean we could have even given you a better example if you told us whihc engine you were using and what your budget looked like. Then you would have had to tell us what kind of setup you wanted, boost or N/A.
