Yeah I guess turbo is just a silly fad amongst those PERFORMANCE ENTHUSIASTS.

you are never going to get any *real* power (read above 250 whp) without going turbo or getting a large displacement engine which I dont think is an option for you.

If I were you, I'd save up alot, get JE or equivalent custom pistons w/ a lowered cr (to 8.5 or 9:1) and a larger T3/T4 hybrid or even a straight T4, pauter or other quality rods, a relatively mild camshaft, titanium retainers and springs, a better flowing head (dunno much abound hondas) and at least a 3-inch turboback with no cats. That would be a fast car. Now you just have to deal with traction with your wrong wheel drive car
