The power went up from 158bhp (rev1/2) to 173 (rev3+) then back down to 168 bhp on the rev 5 cars.

wouldnt worry about it mate, believe it or not the rev1's with 158bhp are the quickest of the na's due to the lower down torque

theres not really a lot you can do unfortunately without spending more or less the same money it would cost for a tubby or v6 conversion
nitrous, although usefull on the drag strip would prove pretty expensive to use on a daily basis
for a turbo conversion you would need a rear clip (or parts from it) ie - engine/gearbox, driveshafts, ecu and loom or for a v6 conversion have a read of this

you can get a camry for the conversion, break it and even make a profit
