As food for thought about the reliability debate, the mighty T series toyota motors would have to be the most reliable and toughest factory spec fourpots in existence. 3TC, 3TEU, 2TC, 2TGEU and even the slightly less tough and reliable 3TGTEU. The old 3TC is a fucking legend. You get stories of people driving 600 kms and more with the water pump completely gone, replacing the pump and then getting another 20000 out of them no worries. The 3TC and sr20de are the only NA motors that truly require little to no internal mods to run boost and the 3TC is heaps easier to mod than the sr20de with it's pesky Nissan engine management and silly twin cam setup (JK). Seriously tho, the 3TC and 3TEU or the 2TGEU would offer the best bang for buck with a little of judicious tickling. I know a lot of people mock the old pushrod 3TC but these engines can be had for next to nothing and can be easily modified in NA form to push 150hp. [Report message to a moderator]
