Of course, another option would be to leave the compression where it is, change the cams and go forced induction.............
Mo' blow, mo' go!

Hey m8
Great that you're gonna upgrade the engine m8 but it went great when I had it (as you know). Can't understand the compression issue, but I do know it was running at 10:9 instead of the standard 11:0 just slightly lower than standard for longevity (if that makes sense).
Just a shame you sold the original ecu really, even for testing purposes. Anyhow, can't wait til she's done she's gonna be a complete beast

i'll go against the masses - forced induction!
******** to forced induction, just found this vid that shows what a well setup high compression N/A B20 build can make:
263whp
Only 3hp more
And another N/A B20:
This one sounds insane when VTEC kicks in
That one is 210whp apparently, seems more realistic.

TBH no it doesnt make any sense once you whack cams like that in and that std Type R's will happily deal with 6psi of boost.
More a case of thats the best they could do with std components bottom end.

That's WHP, so about 290ish at the fly?
Seems a tad optimistic if I'm honest though
Thats WHP.
So basically UK Bhp lol.
Mark Eleys, CRX is the one you wanna benchmark against, but it will cost more than FI to get 250.

Holy ****ing **** m8, do that do that do that!!
Ooohh, now that's a thought. I'm still looking at my options and what sort of budget I'm going to have, but TBH if I go for ITBs I can make a bit back by selling my current intake manifold and Spoon throttle body.........
