Hi guys,

I'm new here & require opinions or suggestions on enchancing my car performance.
Now I'm using the stock A18A 1.8L 12-valve twin carburetor engine with 4-speed automatic transmission (110HP). This engine to me, are very old, felt very under power, have slow acc, & worst of all, can go top speed of 150km/h only! .
Because of that, i hope i can get some advices from all the sifu's here on how to upgrade my car around 200+HP in most efficient money spending & time consuming way. (if can, fuel efficient also)

So which 1 is the best solution?

1) B16A swap + Basic intake and exhaust modification = 160+HP ( below target, but cheap?)
2) B18C swap + Basic intake and exhaust modification = 170+HP (near target, reasonable price i guess?)
3) B16B swap + Basic intake and exhaust modification = 185+HP (slightly below target, but expensive)
4) B18CR swap + Basic intake and exhaust modification = 200+HP (on target, damn expensive)
5) K20A swap + Basic intake and exhaust modification = 200++HP (slightly above target, expensive?)
6) Others?

FYI, I dont mind spending a lot, as long as it is well spend. (eg. for me, spend RM10000 to add 100HP is well spend, while RM500 for 1HP is not) Btw, I have minimal/basic knowledge only on engines & swaps. So, pardon my noobyness pls & thx in advance
