Which engine is best

I am 17 and know nothing about the engines. I plan to turbo my 2002 honda civic ex and i know compression has someting to do with it. I live in florida where the vehicle doesn't have to pass any test. What engine would be best for turbo, that would fit in my engine bay, what the different engines are, and please tell me why it is best. i was looking for a b18c5 but i heard about k22's so i really am lost.

Hmmm but which one would work better with turbo. also which one standing is better. See also a crx is very light even without being stripped. but what are the pro's and con's of eahc engine type?

Re: Which engine is best

turbo YOUR engine. the D17 could put like 200whp down with a turbo. and a B18 wont fit. you could get a K20.
