find a vtec head and a turbo kit:

t56 rolls royce motor. puts out 5 million pounds of thrust. you will probly spin thru 4th but get some slick sand u will be fine

250HP equate to 230ish WHP. thats a 12 second car. PLENTY FAST. i'd go K. as a kid i had B series swapped cars. H series were being experimented with when i left the honda scene. from everything ive read the K series is far superior than the B and H series engines.

with that being said id go K20A/a2/Z1/Z2/Z3/Z4 with a TSX intake camshaft and Kpro.

youll easily land and estimated 230WHP and 170WTQ.

Anything has more power than the D15B8, staying D-Series is the cheapest route, and I speak from personal experience.

Now, go back and READ through the link provided as well as a bunch of others in the FAQ and research how much a few these setups will run you. You can make a decision after you are better informed.
