If you have an extra $500-$800 laying around, consider swapping in a JDM/EDM D15B 3-stage VTEC motor. These motors combined the lean burn of the VX with the performance of the sohc VTEC motors. 130 hp when you need it, and lean burn during normal driving. It would be cheaper than a turbo setup, and 130 hp in a light CRX would be pretty quick.
