Default Want to build a motor for turbo... Swap??

I am in the process of building a turbo for my stock d16z6. I am wondering, as I begin to think bigger, what motor should I build for my 95 sedan. A few opinions and advice would be much appreciated.

Im lost here, your building a turbo for your Z6. But you want another motor?

Unless you want to do everything over again, just pick up another Z6 and build that.

just get another z6 or y8 to build up depending on your plans (which you didn't mention)

Whats your budget? If its crazy big get a K20......thats a BIG budget thou. B18C is a popular choice as well. Sleeve and build it......add a GT35 and youve got anall outracecar.

My main concern is hurting my motor.AndIwould likeanother ready that will stand up to the extra hp with a turbo, and be able to start turning the turbo up on my built motor.
I guess my goals are 250-300 hp. Maybe something like 12-15lbs. I gotta keep the sedan though. I know it's heavier but I like the extra room. Small budget too... I guess another z6 sounds like the way to go. How much more is sleeving???

If you have a small budget, and you wanna make 250-300 whp on a D16z6, Its not happening. Your engine is good for 220whp (ish) What is your budget?

Sleeving is around 1000 or so, overkill for how much power you want though.

I guess as far as motors I was wondering if there was something way better that would be an easy swap for a z6 but if my motor is a good base that's cool too. As far as budget I am considering doing the motor over the winter or over6-12 months so 1000-1500 maybe more. I guess as far as goals I would like to squeeze as much out of my motor as possible without having to stand in a bread line. If I build a motor what are my other options?? Bigger turbo? More psi?? I guess I still need to learn more just to ask the right questions. Thanks again for the help.
