Help!

I have a 2003 MR-2 Spyder- white with black top. So far, I've added larger wheels & tires: front- 215/55X16, up from 185/55X15 & rear- 245/40X17, up from 215/45X16. There is NO rubbing even in hard turns & Handles great and stops like you dropped an anchor. Added a front Bra and side moulding [if someone will tell me how, I will forward images]. My question(s) are:
1. For an engine swap, what is recommended for max power from a 4 cyl. in order to maintain smog requirements?
2. To boost power with ORIGINAL 1.8L engine WITHOUT internal reconstruction?
3. To boost power with ORIGINAL 1.8L engine WITH internal reconstruction?
Please reply directly to mc1.hugh@gmail.com.
Many thanks to those who had the foresight to form this website, and same cudos to those who offer answers & help for my questions.
