1275 10:1 compression, stage III head, twin 1.5 carbs, and a good cam.  If you want low and mid range SW5-07.  If you want mid and top end, 285/286/CA2 or a scatter cam. 

Just my onion.

My minimania 1380  has some good balls. It does 80mph without breaking a sweat,a nd accelarates quite nice too.

 

If I were to do a VTEC swap, even though the D series makes more sense, I would go all out with a K series. 

Then again I am a person with an extreme personality.

It really depends on what you want the car to end up doing.  Are you wanting to build a drag car or just a peppy daily driver?  Obviously if you are adding major horsepower you are going to need to find major traction in order to put that power down.  I've had this conversation with other users before as I am looking at doing a vtec swap myself.  Seems to me a D series engine swap seems to be a good power plant choice.  the B series is what I am considering, have been looknig at B16a2 or B16a3.  As BBR mentions the suzuki swap is a nice option, but I think it may be harder to source a suzuki engine then honda (just my opinion)

I give my mini some balls everytime I get behind the wheel...with an A-series.

Nothing is so bad that you can't make it worse by doing something rash or going berserk.
