Yeah thats your best option incase you need bits haha
With the accord engine youll need the intake manifold as well tho

If it helps im in exacrly the same boat and asked my tuner down in dublin
He said
250 to the wheels is very difficult and the fastest h22 in ireland barely makes 250...
Turbo is best for hp obvs and 300 bhp to the wheels should be ok on a stock motor

Really I thought h series were quite good and not that hard to get 250bhp + also turboeing is expensive isn't it? :/

250 at the fly isnt too bad
250 to the wheels is where it gets harder lol

Someone correct me if im wrong but i believe you lose 10-12% hp to the wheels?
So a 250bhp fly would be 225 at wheels?

Turbo kit is 2500 i think but itll see much better results in horse power and deffo in torque

Anywhere from 15-25% typically although every dyno will give differing results.

If you assume 18% transmission loss to be safe.

Just find a supercharger and do it. 244whp and 188wlbft. More soon.
