The R18 can be turbo'd...one of the cars at SEMA was turbo'd. Everybody thought it was an Si but it's an EX. I can't find the specific link, but if you see it, it's a burnt orange color with black tinted headlights, a big intercooler in front and a bodykit.

Look into a K20aR from a JDM Type-R or the K20a2/K24a2 hybrid. Those would give you the most power and flexibility for future mods and they're very reasonable as far as cost goes. By the time you buy a turbo and get the labor, you could've had a stronger, much more reliable engine than an F/I motor. Like I said, the best turbo'd or supercharged engines are the best N/A engines. You can have the biggest and prettiest house in the world, but its only as strong as the foundation it's built upon.
