IMO, you should get another block first, like a B18 or B20 since you said your B16 is in a very fresh condition. From there, there will be a big jump in torque especially on the low to mid range. Then from there, maybe you could get a very small turbo like a T28 if you still want to go turbo since you said you're not looking into big power gains. This should be good for 220 - 250 whp. And if ever you change your mind and plan on going 300hp, you could fortify the B18 or B20 while at same time, still use your old B16 to ride around in the EK. And if something goes wrong too with the B18 or B20, you have something to use again for the EK while rebuilding the broken engine
But if 200hp more or less on the flywheel is alright with you, then just get used parts like type-r valvetrain, type-r intake manifold, CTR cams and some sort of I/H/E combination and most importantly, have the ECU tuned.
That all sounds good on paper, but i don't think a FWD Honda has the traction to handle such a high tq at low rpm setup (1.8-2.0 with a T28 sized turbo).
