I'd probably recommend swaping to a new motor. But even with the new motor you'd have to build it up and probably run turbo to see 240hp out of it. Even with the type R you'd have to build it up to get that much, comes stock with 200hp, and that's 200 at the crack and not at the wheels. But the price would depend on what turbo kit you buy (everyone has different opinions on what kit is the best) and how much you spend on internals and tuning (not to mention paying a machine shop to put the internals in). By no means is getting to 240hp going to be cheap no matter what way you go.
