If I were you I'd save up for a B16A1 swap, I dont tell people that often and I for the most part hate B16's but in your case you are dealing with a 20 year old car/engine and I would not suggest modding it for reliability reasons. Plus full B16A1 swaps can be had for around $1200 and that is not a bad deal being you will be more than doubling your power plus getting a newer engine you can freshen up before it goes in. On top of that a B16 in a light *** 88 civic would be pretty quick for the money invested.
