I assume your talking engine power cause I don't know any amp to push that kind of power. Let's see....100000watts / 746watts per hp = 134 hp. Oh man that would be easy .....assuming your si is efi than your only about 20 hp away....at the crank that is......are you talking about power at the wheels or crank?.....a cai, header, cutom exhaust, cam regrind will easily get you there......but if yours is carbed you would need a weber for sure and maybe a few other goodies.........its a piece of cake to hit 134 at the crank....getting it at the wheels....you will need a slight bit more time and money.

the stock power reading is 85KW, is that at the crank?? what is that at the wheels?? yes my car is PFI.
I made my CAI by using the stock black box where the stock air system gets its air from I took it out and drilled like 20 big holes into the side of the box that faces the front of the car, I will be getting my Civic intake pipe in a couple of weeks. I hav also got a 2" cat back exhaust.

if ur talking about the cam, all it does it holds the intake valves open for a longer duratioin which allows more gas to get into your cylinders and as u know, more gas = more combustion = more power from you engine. like MIke said, Check the faqs and how-tos to do all of them. Good luck. u can easily push your car with ease upto 140hp.

later on get an engine rebuild. by the way, Do u have a B20 or a A20? just checking cause ur in Australia.

You dont seem to know much about engine, I would be surprised if you knew what to do with a B20 engine.

Its pretty easy. You already got 114 hp. Your looking for 134. You need 20 hp. If you don't feel like shipping overseas for a cam regrind or there are no machinist over there that can do one then you can get a CAI, Header, High flow 2.25in exhaust, Accel Coil, New plugs & wires, TB and manifold off a B20. That will get you close but without going into the engine it will hard to extract more power.
