Hey I'm new here and can't get the search to work so I'm starting a new thread

I have a 91 CRX with a 1.5. It needs to accelerate faster. What are some of the ways I can do this, and if you could give me some places to look so I can price the modifications. I'm looking for more of the quicker ways of doing this right now because this is my only car and can't have it sitting in the shop for more then a day. If you have more serious modifications I'm thinking about buying a EU spec 1.6 VTEC 150hp engine for it if I can and I would love to make that go even faster.

umm... how good are you at working on stuff? do you have tools? budget? anything?

I'm pretty good on working on things, and if I can't do it my Father is an Auto Tech and he can help me. I really look forward to learning. I have no particular budget I'm just gathering info and ideas so just shoot them at me. I would also kind of like to know how much more power it provides to the car, or if it's not that noticeable but the little things build it up over time.

For about 100-200 you can get a lower geared trans, will help some, a motor swap will probably cost 2k when all said and done. Or for about 2-3k you can put a b18 from an integra and will be a bunch more power.
