Hey and welcome nick
best bet is probably to swap it out for at least the 1.6 engine,
Have a look at princes guide in the honda forum itll show which engines give what.

If you want to keep your engine your going to need to do alot of work to it easuiest way would be to supercharge it

almost 40 bhp isint a big jump so a super charger is a good start, otherwise

a good induction kit
stainless steel exhaust
stainless streel 4 branch manifold
bigger injectors
upgraded sparkplugs, and leads and a remapped ecu

small engiene hondas are good for getting hp out of the above mods, not saying you'll get 40 bhp from this, but wouldnt be far off
im hoping to get 50 bhp from the above for mine

look at the prelude section, and post calles im hoping to achieve, and you'll see what i mean

anyway, welcome mate

Engine swap mate. Best and most efficient way of increasing power.

ebay mate is good for finding bargin however you might also turn up the odd dud,
look towards a scrappy for a new engine so you can test it works before buying it
