Cheapest and easiest option would be fit a 1.3, 4 branch manifold and decent exhaust system and a decent air intake, that would see you at around 95bhp, getting on for twice what you have now.

the cheapest most effective way will be turbo however N/A is really smart and you get a bit more satifaction, thats how i always feel when i run with civic type r's.

and a boost valve! :d and keep the steelies on, no big ass alloys
well cheers for the advise ppl am havin a think and still makin decisions, as u will all no thers alot to think about wen tuning, if you change sompthing youv got to change sompthing else so it'l run right and yer am not getting big alloys on it thy just nack up the acselaration, am gettin same size wheels meby 1-2 inches bigger but light weight alloys so thy improve it not just to look good and thanks again it's been very helpful.
Ask around, plenty of people here with 0-60, 1/4 mile times to back that up, myself included

With a question like this Budget is normally the main setback.

What cars would you like it to keep up with?
examples really?
are we talking nova gte's / vtr's/
Or we talking 205 gti's/ VTS
Just so we know how quick you want it.

205 gti's and vts's arent even close.
a 205/309 GTI 1.9 8v will just about eat a vtr alive, but a vts is another box of frogs.
i would have said 205gti/vtr or nova gte/vts..... but i digress.
the only way your gonna be able to keep up with any of those cars is to have more power up top from around 60mph + my car with little mods and no weight can keep up with 90% of hot hatches to 60mph, then as soon as you change into third it all slows down a bit. if i had 30 or 40 more bhp (so around 100-120bhp) i would be up with the big boys if not beyond.
so your looking at either short term nitrous oxide (not realy an option on a cg engine unless you want to create a custom inlet manifold) or turbocharging.
the final option is to talk to matt humphris as he has a 118bhp n/a Nismo engine in stock ready to go. slap some throttle bodies on it and a decent stand alone ecu and were talking 130bhp of sillyness..at around 9000rpm
