If you're absolutely serious about getting this done, you may want to read all of this:

And for the exhaust, single exhausts get much better gains over duals. You may want to add Hondata intake manifold gasket as well.

^^^^ I agree, WTF is he talking about? 220 with all that work? I guess some people were just born to be downers.

On the other hand, if you're truly concerned with making big HP you should consider some form of FI and save a lot of money that you could put toward suspension, wheels, hardtop, maintenance, etc.....

Yes it sounds to be out of reach and still be streetable. Perhaps 275bhp is about it. And yes the Hondata exhaust gasket slipped my list, good idea!

If I stay N/A I will probably do bolt on's and some kind of piggyback or standalone. This should get me 265 bhp or close.

J's recently had their 2.2l race car in a magazine and it puts down 311h.p. at 8100rpm. But the 13.to1 comp and race gas certainly helps alot. Bumping that down to street level comp and gas would probably get you 290ish.

Just come to the Dark Side and go forced induction . You will be able to hit 300whp with your eyes closed and still have your shirt on your back when you are done. To answer your question, is it doable, of course. The qustion you should ask next is, is it worth it?

I'd stop at full bolt-ons unless you are using this as a race car that must be n/a or has strict qualifications. I have never heard of a division that would fit this, but I am surely not all knowing. While it may be expensive, you can buy all the bolt-ons lightly used and resell them for little to no loss if you install them yourself. I love n/a as much as anyone, but you have to be sensible; 25k+ for at best 300whp on a very 'touchy' car is not worth it IMO. On the NSX, however, you can have about 380-400bhp n/a for about 14 grand. Considering that is less than half the price of almost all NSX's on the market and doubles the car's output, it is much more sensible.
