get a Bseries engine, like a b16 or b18 from an acura integra.

the stock D17 in the 7G is still the same configuration as the old D blocks, so swapping a B block into it's place isn't impossible since both spin in the same direction.
with money and custom mounts anything is possible and several b-series 7th gens are already riding around on the west coast...

Lots of money. you'll need custom mounts for a b-series at the very least.
everybody says a Kseries swap would be easier (and more legal) but k-series engines are rediculously priced right now, so you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
custom mounts or expensive engine.
to make it worse, turbocharging can also get pretty expensive after parts, labor and LOTS of tuning.
so you have to pick your poison. another thing is that Kseries engines spin in the wrong direction (i think).
you could do a d-series engine swap or build up your current d-series but D-series engines are hard to extract NA power from compared to other honda engines.

I won't argue with that, but it's probably not the best solution for this guy.

are you saying that if you were to soup up a 5th or 6th gen youd be faster than my 7th gen if i were to soup it up? i dont understand why honda would ***** up the next genereation of hondas... i dont want to buy a new car i want to make the one i have ****in fast. what types of things can you do when rebuilding an engine?

Btw, you are in over your head. The lack of knowledge you have wont do you anygood. And to get the car 'fast' is going to cost you almost as much as your car is worth.

the b engine would take much more than custom mounts. A LOT MORE. it's all covered at honda-tech, check it out

The b16a requires... Custom Motor Mounts/tranny mounts, Custom axels, ALLL CUSTOM wiring ( A HUGEEEE TASK) Rewire EVERYTHING, speedo, ecu.IT also might require a custom header/downpipe.Another huge problem, is because its never been well documented, EVERYTHING you did would be trial and error, and im sure there would be a TON of errors along the way.
