Sounds like everyone pretty much agrees on a motor swap. Anyone know where to get a b-series complete swap that can be shipped overseas?? Also my wife has a bone stock perfect condition 2000 civic si. We would like to go turbo with a drag III kit hondata 2b ecu 330cc?? injectors aftermarket clutch. What else would be a smart purchase at the time we buy the turbo?? Ideas suggestions would be great.

Your tastes and mine differ. I dont see how youd justify spending that kind of money on straight B20 setup with a LS tranny.
Im still toying with the idea of doing something like that but Id opt for the higher compression JDM B20 and toss a close-ratio gearbox on it (something like a B16 tranny). Toss on a lightened flywheel some smaller wheels and youve got yourself a torquey little auto-x monster.

or you could save that money and sell your car and get a much much better platform to start with.
