You can make any motor go fast. It all depends on how much work is needed to achieve the same goals with different motors. If all you want is a decent power to beat Gsr's, Si's and elipses then getiing a greddy turbo kit will do the job. You'll feel the power instantly. this turbo kit will allow you to go low 13's to high 12's as long as your motor is built to withstand this much boost. If your goal is to go 11's or 10's you would be better off getting a b16 or even a b18. Just know that each pound you boost will give you approximately 10-15 horsepower. so if you boost 5 lbs on your car you will approximately gain 50-75 horsepower. If you boost 5 lbs on a B16 motor then you gain the same horsepower but you have more horsepower to begin with. Also the stock internals on a B series engine is stronger, meaning it will be able to boost more lbs of boost. So the question is, what your main goal is......

Hmmm.... yeah it can be a daily driver. If you set your EVC to boost only like 7-10 lbs for daily driving and set it at max when you race...... But know that in order make a 10 second car you will need to spend alot of money... Let me know if you have any other quetions....

I think your going to have a pretty hard time getting something into the 10s or even low 11s on a daily driver.. Not impossible, just will be very hard to do..
