Default k20a3 tuning help

hi guys. so i have a 2003 rsx premium. with the stock k20a3 motor in it. that gives me 160hp. my question is, how can i get more power from my engine? and HOW MUCH more can i actually get from this engine. do i turbo it? do i replace parts on it? or is it hopeless and i'm better off with doing a engine swap? help me out guys.

side question. if i get more power out of my engine (say from turbo) will i increase my towing capacity? right now i tow a jet-ski, but the manual says the towing capacity is 1,500 pounds. if i get more power will my towing capacity increase?

thanks

Do some more research. There are numerous threads like yours where the same questions were answered!! Dont be suprised if this thread gets locked per these reasons.

However ur best option would be swap the motor or go
FI!!!

Btw if ur towing **** with your rsx, you are dumb! The rsx is a sports car not an suv!
