Engines....
Used engine #1 $900
Used engine #2 $400
Bran new block, crank, rods, pistons, machineshop work , bearings etc etc Engine #3 $4500
Engine number one Built 12:1 pistons Eagle Rods and Machine work $1500
Engine number two Built, Same pistons, added Carrilo Rods, new bearings Machine work $1900

Cylinder head
Ported TSX head with Ferrera Valves and Valve springs $2800

Tuning and dyno time $1000 (most recent)
Tuning and work hunting an issue $1700 (previous).

Cams
Kelford B's $800
Drag Cartel 4's with Custom VTC pulley $1300

Intake
Intake Manifold Adapter to use Stock Intake $200
Excessive manufacturing Kpro Manifold with velocity stacks and spacer $800
74mm Throttle body used $100ish

New Starter (from honda) the autozone one failed
New Alternator (from honda) the autozone one failed
New Water Pump from Honda
New Crank pulley (junk yard motor crank pulleys looked destroyed).

Injecotors and fuel rail.
550 cc injectors and inline pro Rail ($500 ish)
RDX injectors and Skunk rail ($400 ish).

Haltech ECU $1100

Engine mounts and brackets and adapter to OS Giken Clutch $1500

Headers
Custom Stainless headers header $1200
ASP custom header $1800

$400 in misc parts from one of the Kswap companies for Tstat housing and water outlet on the back of the head.

I'm sure theres more, but you can kinda get the idea.This doesn't even cover the nickle and dime stuff. For Instance I got sick of running to Ace every hour for nuts and bolts so I ordered an insane number of nuts and bolts from Honda just to make sure I had a huge stack to keep working when I worked on it. I think I spent $400 in nuts and bolts. I have enough spares to do this swap again 4 times. Also not included is gaskets and seals of which all were new each time I replaced the engine.

Now I must Delete this so my wife doesn't see it.

Port the daylights out of the S2000 Intake manifold. Use a Civic Si or CTR cylinder head with some less aggressive cams, Use an accord block, Run some 12.5:1 Forged Pistons and good rods. That's the way to get it done for Under $10k. The sad part is I think you'll make similar power to where I'm at. Difference is I think Mine can make a ton more power with some more RPM and more compression, where as I think the above setup would be tapped out. But you gain the VTC control and that's pretty valuable for mid range power. Thats something the F24 can't get.
