But, you all missed the point that he wants an SR motor. He CANNOT use his current auto trans w/ the SR motor. If he goes to an SR motor, he needs an SR trans, whether it be auto or manual.

I guess I missed that point. I would still recommend staying with an automatic. Even though he has to swap out transmissions from the 1.6 to the 2.0 he won't have to get all the stuff installed like the pedal, clutch cable, master & slave cylinders, etc if he stays with the automatic. Also, he doesn't have to drill a hole into the spot where the shifter would go. In the past I planned on swapping out to do the SR20DET BB but I figured working with the 1.6L would be better all the way around for a reliable daily driven car. I was thinking of turboing the 1.6 but it's way too much money all at one time. So it looks like I'm gonna go NA since I already have all the bolt-ons and it's cheaper to buy the motors for the 1.6 to get built up from DPR w/ JWT Cams & higher compression, etc. I also don't have to worry about street legality issues if everything is done right (some one pops up the hood and says, "LOOK it's A Turbo!, that ain't legal!).
