I think a SR20 would be nice, lol:D

No I think you should get a bluebrid SR20det. But first you should use the search button and search bluebird SR20det, or GA16 to SR20det, or SR20det swap, or anything you can think of because there is soo much information on here you just have to do a little leg work, and is why most people wont reply because they have said the answer over and over and over again for evey new person that comes in here. Hope I helped.

The best thing for you to do is probably swap in an SR20DE engine, get it running correctly, then once you are satisfied with it, turbocharge that motor. The reason being is that if you try to do too many things at once, you may have a very, very hard time getting it running again.
When swapping the GA16DE to an SR20DE, you need to swap many parts over, such as the motor, tranny, passenger side motor mount, axles, MAF sensor, ECU, wiring harness, rad hoses, guage cluster, catalytic converter and probably the rad as well. It's alot of work, and if you need to worry about runing oil and water lines, intercooler piping, etc it's going to be one hell of a hard swap. I'd say put the SR20 in first, get it running right, then think about going turbo.
PS I have all of the parts you need to do the swap :)
