Which of those motors are the fastest? Im looking to have low weight but a quik motor I have a little 4cylinder... there's just not enough getup and go.
 In th future i plan on replacing some of the body pannels with carbon fiber hood and trunk. and any other i can find. i plan on machining the fly wheel.
i dont really want to take out the seats in the back or anything.

ha did you know they make carbon fiber rims?

I just want a light weight car thats quick and can drift if i wanted to.

But i plan on getting the engine donor car from a wreck auction.

Which salvage auctions are you going to hit?  They have a Salvage Direct yard over here in Adamsburg, PA but it's dealer only.

Sorry for my ignorance, what is DASC?

Downing Atlanta SuperCharger.  $4500 for 60hp, reliable & well-engineered.  More importantly it keeps the weight down.  I'll bet it's lighter than most turbo installs.  I'll bet a new pulley would help with the gain, but you'd need more engine work.  I personally think a turbo is more fun, but installing a DASC is an afternoon job.  The e36 version occasionally turns up on EBay or CL too.
