Of course, you are not correcting for the fact that it did 160 in the "real world", which using the appropriate conversion factor is roughly equal to 195 MPH on the internet.
160 MPH is what you get with a 1,939cc motor dynoed at 282 HP. People who say they went 160 on the freeway with their 175 HP Civic are just pulling your leg or just too dumb to know better.

The records are 2 way AVERAGES across a flying mile. Top speeds are always higher than the averages and the record is for the averages.
But to answer the question, yes, I am trying to set a record (average) over 200 MPH and do it with a 1.5L turbo motor. I want to be the first Honda car in the Bonneville 200 MPH club.

yes, when I decided to run in the under 1.5L class, I had 3 choices, D, B or K. The smallest K is a 2.0L so getting it it under 1.5 would require alot of work. The D sucks. The B16 only needed a 4mm smaller bore, and I was doing sleeves & pistons anyway so thats why. Also, B's are a very well proven, high HP motor and are a dime a dozen.
I used the 01 coupe because I like the body style. the others have already been done. If I were to do it again, I would do the insight, I love that body.
