Ok First off im embarassed to say this but I've been ripped off so many times with shit for cars. I'm a big impulse buyer. I've been sold a b16 longblock for way to much money (I sold for a almost a quarter of what i paid for) and some other shit. But the worst one so far was a "JDM" b16a I was sold recently. The motor appeared to be fine. i was completly lied to and to make a long story short, the motor turned out to be fucked up. I'm really frustraited to the point where i want to give up on tryin to build a quick, clean car. I'm not going to give up though, I've spent about $4300 all together over 3 years. YES I'm a fucking idiot. But now i could use some advice. i desperately need. what set-up should i go with? What should i do before making the decision to buy it? and what kinda things should i look at/for when checking out a motor. Who can I really trust?

Second.... I finally have money again and I want to try and buy one more motor and finish that part of my car at least.
I dont want to do anything that requires to much modification. heres some swaps im considering:
1. JDM d15b VTEC, with a nice turbo set-up. I like "slammd sol's" set-up.
2. LS/b20 turbo
3. d15b7 turbo
4. d16z6 or y8 turbo

My goal is 220whp . The most ill spend is $2500-3000. I'm ready to stop being stubburn and wait. Which one of these swaps is the way to go for my budget, and my goals?
