Default New to Honda and HT

Hey all! I've been lurking around for sometime now after riding in a buddy's boosted EG. I finally took the plunge. I bought an '89 LX Sedan with a 5 speed for $500. Looks to still have the original D15B2 it came with from the factory (293k miles - runs and drives). Not really sure what I want to do as far as modifications yet, just working on getting the maintenance items back to spec (replaced both axles, changed oil, MT fluid, starting on badly rusted exhaust next) before trying to make it go faster. What I do know is that I'd like to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 160-200whp and I want to keep A/C + power steering. If possible, my ideal way to get that kind of power would be a turbo. Right now I am trying to research which engine is going to best for my application and be able to reliably get that kind of power out of a DD, as it is my understanding that the D15B2, even with the MPFI conversion, is not cut out for a turbo. If you guys have any suggestions on engines or mods, please don't be shy!

Thanks!
