My budget is a couple thousand, the car will be daily driven, not going to add a turbo down the road, and I want around 240hp
What are you talking about my D16Y7 could have 240+hp by adding an exhaust system, intake, intake manifold, flywheel and control module. I would add this but my engine is going to last another year or two plus D series engines can only handle up to 220hp so theres no point, so I mind as well do an engine swap.That is never going to happen without boosting it. Built turboed D would be the cheapest route that would get you close to that.

Can the D series motors handle 350+whp, I bet you it wouldn't last long. Anyways then tell me what I can do to get a decent amount of hp without a turbo, since you know more than meYou sir have no idea what you are talking about. There are D-series motors out there making 350+whp. If you turbo your motor (rebuild with the right parts) you could easily make 250. And no you cant get 240 from your motor with just bolt-ons.

EPIC FAIL.
Read before you speak any further.
There are cheaper ways to get to 240hp. Easily done with a D.
So how much hp can a D16Y7 handleHigh comp pistons, cam, insane amounts of head work, a good header, and ITBs wouldnt hurt, then the best tune ever, all that and you would be lucky to put down 200. I think your just a little confused, Honda measures their HP at the crank, so for example, you look up your motor, it says 125HP, thats at the crank, you lose an average of 15% of that through the driveline (tranny, axles, wheels/tires) And everyone says that a header and CAI and bolt-ons each give you between 5-15 more ponies each well thats not always true.
