How to get a faster car out of my st. Options

[Apevely]

Ok so i have a 95 st. I just rebuilt the 1.8 5000 miles ago as soon as i bought it. Im 16 and this is my first car and ive been driving for a couple months and am already bored of it. I simply want something faster. I already have brand new rims, c-one body kit and racing fenders and a new paintjob so now im looking to get this thing moving. I havent read much but ive read about the beams engine. So my question. I either want to A.) Build my 1.8 and turbo it. B.) Buy a 2.2, built it, turbo it. C.) Buy a jdm swap beams etc., and possibly turbo it. I just want some suggestions on what i should do. Money is not an issue but i dnt want to spend over 2500. Thanks to anyone that trys to help.

I'm 20 and probably the closest to your age posting on this thread. i love to go fast as my record will show you... but these guys are right ..... i started doing my swap and i put a excel spread sheet together and damn it adds up quick. i have a different dd right now. But once I'm done I'm planning on keeping the car forever daily driver at first till i get a truck then just a weekend and summer car. All i have to say is i would get at least 5gs ready. Say you buy the motor for 2500 + trans 500+ a good clutch combo with a flywheel will be ^500 if you take apart the motor and replace the essentials id say ^300 + intake exhaust depending on the intercooler route you want to go you either have to get a new hood or buy an fmic. and last if anything does break because **** happens just remember you cant go down to auto zone and get the part if you get a 3sgte your probably going have to special order it.

Just saying you need to be making bank to get it to where you want it to be. and the suspension should defiantly be updated.
