w/o turbo (or any FI) youll need to take that shiny new head back off and get a port and polish on it, then look into getting it decked, 3-5 angle valve grind, SS or titanium valves, springs and retainers. the biggest, meanest cam you can find, and the head gasket from a 96-00 ex (thinner than older ones) then, if its a street car too, get a nice cat-back and CAI, header, and high-flow cat. all brand name, no OBX or DC-S crap. an LSD would be a must. and get the tranny from an 88-91 si. adj FPR and guage, adj cam gear, AEM fuel rail, AEM filter, injectors from a prelude. intake manifold, throttle body, and a Hondata vinyl IM gasket. F.A.L. windows for the back three, carbon hood, lightweight rims such as Konig heliums, Panasports, or Rotas. slicks. a traction bar. and strip the interior. just a few suggestions. but add it all up. unless you have a fundamental dislike for turbos and twin cams, is it worth it? oh, and im sure i forgot a thing or two, anyone else, feel free to chime in. but this is about the best you can do without cracking the block, which wouldnt be a bad place to start.
