Looks, or power?

For info. My CA18DET spec was:

Forged JE Pistons to SE Spec (8.0:1 Compression ratio)
Forged I Beam Rods
Billet Knife Edged Crank
Fully Lightened and balanced
Gas Flowed Cylinder Head with Tomei Poncams 260 Duration, 8.8mm lift. Exhaust and Inlet Ported.
JUN Compassion Valve Springs
JUN Hyperlight Flywheel
Wills Ringed block (Could use a standard head gasket
Engine never missed a beat. with Silkolene Esther Synthetic
Garret 2871R at 1.7 bar boost

Would I do it again? No. Go for looks. Women don't care how fast a car goes. They prefer how good they look in it. Why I chose a Roadster for my GF

I haven't even altered the Stereo. (The S13 had a few KW JL Audio in it)

If you are going to spend thousand making it go faster etc. Buy a faster car in the first place. It's like twin turboing a G37 or buying an M5. I'd get the M5
