200+ HP NA is impossible with a D16A6. Plenty of people have spent plenty of money, and the most successful NA builds get to around 175. Those are race engines BTW, with no consideration given to low-RPM drivability.

Take the whole brake system from a 90-93 Integra.

Consider spell-checking your posts.
200+ NA HP has been done, even with a puny D15, but it was for drag racing.

160 whp is possible with stock intake, 170+ with proper intake manifold setup.

But it is NOT cheap. You could buy a ITR swap for less money.

I should clarify that I was talking whp numbers in my post. Without access to an engine dyno it's awful difficult to get accurate crank figures. The best NA D-series builds I've ever seen made mid-170s at the wheels.

Yes. You can swap in a totally stock JDM GSR or ITR and get a true 180Hp with NO mods, no headers, no tune. Just daily drive-ability with tons of power. And keep the AC. why eff **** up and hotrod something, spend a fortune then cost $2000 to dyno "Tune"... pain in the azz BS. If you want 160+ it is better to swap.

I like that idea if I could keep my AC
The cool thing is that we don't have to fight for A/C and power steering. lol Most people just switch to a half radiator and stick the turbo over the a/c compressor.
