mayb bore the engine to 1.9L or 2.1L?
200whp will cost you thousands more than a turbo kit, but if you want to go that route, more power to you.
Some of those mods are unnecessary and they will not even get you close to 200 whp. You will be seeing about 170whp after spending a good chunk of change.
You will have to raise the compression ratio to get near than number and that would require a standalone ECU. The ECU itself will run over 1k + tuning.
I personally don't find it rewarding enough to build up an N/A Honda motor since you will have to dump tons of money in to see even halfway decent results. I will stick with my FI and do it the cheaper, more effective way.
