Either swap to a DOHC engine (*cough* h22 *cough* lol) or turbo the one you have. Really, forced induction is the only cost-efficientway to make great deals of power on a D-series.

^ +1 so true, a rebuilt boosted D can throw some serious power, but honestly I/H/E dont really do anything. VTEC will help too (depending on what D you have now)

look into a b-series b18c1, b16b, or b18c5 complete swaps that give you everything you need
