self build could be 2.5k but i would go with something like a quick x16xe
cams, manifolds, arp bolts, remap. sport cat (keeps the car legal) will make the car fly and if you can get it done i suggest getting a lightweight flywheel and the bottom end ballanced, with a sport c;lutch and lower by 40mm would look good and go very nicely then

why? Good reliable power if set up right that can be used easily on the road.
Not like a carb'd setup, which i would rather not use as a daily driver.
