Unfortunately, while the D16 has alot of options for getting some power out of it, none of them are cheap. At least, none that will produce some real power.
Normally I would just tell you to save your dollars for a B Series swap, but there is an option that (in my opinion) is worth considering: a Jackson Racing supercharger.
Some might flame me for this, but hear me out. The kit for your (or any D series motor) will come with an intake for your current engine/head. Jackson claims that the supercharger will give you somewhere in the neighbourhood of about 40%-45% more power. On a non-VTEC D series that's about 140-145bhp (VTEC D series would be about 160-175bhp). But the beauty of the supercharger is when you finally decide to upgrade to a B series motor, you can call Jackson Racing and buy an intake for your new motor (and whatever else you might need for the swap).
I will be honest, I don't have any experience with supercharging (on a Honda or otherwise) so I don't know about reliablity. But I'm sure there are plenty of experts on this forum that can provide you with all the info you need.

JRSC are garbage...end of story...also for the price you would pay for this peice of shit you could do a much faster and much better turbo setup
