I highly doubt putting a new head on your car would make 200 hp.. think about it, if that was true everyone would be doing it. You have no reason to do a head swap because you already have vtec. The only thing that you could do to your existing head is build it up with stage 1 or 2 camshaft, valvetrain upgrade etc.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY STAGE 1 OR 2 CAMSHAFT AND THE VALVETRAIN UPGRADE, WHAT ELSE COULD I INSTALL BESIDES THAT? I THINK THE USUAL THING TO DO IS PUTTING AN INTAKE AND SOME HEADERS IS THAT GONNA GIVE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT O WHAT??? TELL ME WAHT TO DO, OHHHHH AND ONE MORE THING THIS FRIEND OF MINE HE TOLD THAT I SHOULD GO TURBO TO GET A 4 OR 6 POUNDS OF PRESSURE AND THEN GET THE INTERCOOLER BUR EVERTHING SEPARATE INSTEAD OF GETTING IT FROM A STORE WICH IS MORE EXPENSIVE.

Camshafts come in stages, each stage increases horsepower which is why anything over stage 2 is going to need a valvetrain upgrade which would be your valve springs and retainers. If you go turbo you can run about 6 psi of boost on your stock engine but i think it would be better if you could find a used kit off of a forum because they will include everything you need. Otherwise your going to need to buy it all urself turbo timer, manifold, e-manage, intercooler piping etc.

Actually If Your Name Is Correct And Its A 2002 Si, Definitely Do The Head Swap, The Thing For That Car Was To Put The Rsx Type S Head On It, You Will Gain 20-25 Whp, And Not Lose An Ounce Of Torque. Then Start With Bolt Ons.
