How to upgrade an Lsi

[Dr@go]

Hi there, sorry if my english will not sound very correct! :unsure:

I Have an Civic Lsi Coupé (1500cc/102hp) and i want to improve it.
Changing the motor is my "dream", but for now i don't have cash... and in my country, Portugal, is very complicated to do it... legaly!

Any ideas?

Sounds to me like its time for a turbo

How strict are Portugal's emissions regulations, and what do inspectors look for when they check out your car?

Sorry for the delay but my computer is broken, so i don't have net acess.
Thank's for your answers and ideas.
Yes, i would like to put an turbo but that option is very expensive: i earn about 600 to 700€ per month, an turbo would cost me about 3000 to 5000€!!!
Portugal's emissions regulations are very strict and any change in the original specifications means an autograph from the cops and an "X" in the anual inspection.
I've already changed the tyres from 175/70 r13 to 195/50 r15, the entrance from the air filter is now in inox (Simota intake) and the exaust as been modified, now i have an direct inox exaust since the catalizator (i have eliminated the midle silencer and the final is direct) [i hope you've understanded :unsure: ]!
Any more ideas?
Thank's anyway!
See ya!

HONDA RULES! B)

Inox is (i think) steel. Normal exausts are in iron (or similars).
