  SOHC RT4WD Turbo you can see around 250hp but go sohc vtec turbo
  B-Series Turbo 4wd not gonna happen unless you got chedder. CRV AWD 5speed then all the modds to fit it together.
  can the car handle 300+ Hp yes
  hope that helps
  good luck
  
  GO K-SERIES i think that me and DR CHARLES are the only people to ever put 1 in a WAGON SKUNK2 FTW

  SO i could swap out the Engine, throw in a D16 from any EX or 93-95 Si hatch and boost it keeping the AWD..Now when will the AWD be engaged the entire time. I read that it only kicks in when the front tires loose traction. But then i read there is a switch or something you can hit to turn the AWD on the entire time...I kinda got lost there LOL...
  
  As for AWD B series. a B20 is pretty easy to find. Now what else would i need to made the B20 AWD Compatible.
  
  As far a a K20...It would be kick ass but honeslty, i never thought it was worth it to spend so much on the engine then the rest of the parts to install it. Looking at $6K-$8k when i could do a Turbo Sohc and reach the same HP for way less...The K Series are Sick ass SWAPS though and put down mad numbers all motor. My friends RSX is in the top 10 in the US for HP wise in the RSX. He lays down 503 WHP right now and re-doing his set-up and going bigger. He wants like 700 now ahahahaah.....

  hehe... lovin this.
  
  Ok realisticly if you want to a) retain 4WD and or/lock AWD b) make up to 300hp c) not go over 6-8k; then you'd be looking at B20 turbo.
  
  To my knowledge Shenrie is the only one who has tried the B series RT4WD conversion and is the only person with the knowledge of the specific positioning and adjustments that are required.

  Damn now that's what im talking about. But sems like you and Dr. Charles get down like that so you had the resources already good to go. You have any more pics of the Install....So you Paid $3,000 for the engine, harness, blah blah blah and installed yourself? Installing myself is not the issue, its sourcing the parts and such where it becomes a pain in the ass. So i assume since you have a custome Header, that the stock K series header will not work nor will and other aftermarket header. Is there enough room to throw in a turbo set-up down the road with the K series.....
  
  Props to you and hands down...Plain fuckin Sick...You got my mind all jumbled now...I sourced out a 91 2wd Wagon for $650 and not running with awesome exterior. 5 hours drive and thinking about picking it up....
  
  Please keep the opinions coming......
  Sorry for being such a noob to the wagon game but im so fuckin intrigued.....

  you can get your single slammer to a safe 250hp. if it were me i would do a mild build on a dohc zc motor and have my tranny rebuilt as well and boost about 10-12lbs daily and hopefully make around 300whp. a 4wd b-sereis wagon would be tits but its harder that it looks and if i went through all that trouble and began to just break expensive hard to find parts like crv trannies and rear ends i would be pissed off. this is why i have sold most of my b-sereis crap to pay off bills so that soon i can afford a TT supra or an EVO..... what ever u do good luck

  the chances of handing a sti or evo some ownage are difficult at best. The RT platform on the wagons were never designed for this. YAW controls & more brute platforms as opposed to a fuel-saving design are seriously dating the RT, the evo has been around for almost 2 decades, Subaru has been doin awd turbo for just as long.
  They're pure rally cars, different cars.
  
  The best way to do this is to see what others have done and engineer quality improvement into the vehicle. Thats, why we're here, to help each other as a community. Learn.
  
  Remember, even those rally cars are NOT bulletproof.
  
  Anything making 300+ horsepower in a awd or 4wd system will have a weak link.
  
  Shenrie's setup is the way to go, B swap CRV style & pull out your $$$
