Exclamation what motor can go in a 2005 accord?

like the title states, im trying to figure out for a buddy of mine who owns a 2005 accord ex coupe 4cylinder 2.4L; what kinda motor could you swap into this car witout much modifications. i was telling him to look into a honda prelude h22a motor the one that comes out of the newer preludes 97-00 i belive. his car is automatic and he compalins its slow which is very true. so we were thinkina bout he could do a prelude swap and later on turbo it, orr just go ahead and turbo the stock motor he has now .. what would be the best way to get sum decent gains of hp ?? also he lookin to throw down no more then $2500 whether an engine swap or turbo the stock motor... any help and advice is appreciated

thanks
zach

$2500 will get you nothing for a 05 accord. j30 is a v6.
Trade it in.
