2.0 bar is not going to happen without major work to drop the stock compression. The most you can get stock is .5 bar. If you manage to drop the compression to 9.0 to one, it is feasible. Only if you change the springs, valves, heads and rings.

Is that all the internal parts that I have to change!!?

springs, valves, heads(like in pistonheads?) and rings?

the rods, crank, bearings etc can take it !?

MKIV is a damn good machine, but I simply don

 

You won't get 2 bar of boost because the compression ratio is already 11 to 1
give or take a tenth of a point or two.
however there are several super and turbo charger kits that can push the power WAY up with a surprisingly small
degradation in reliability. The actual "Weakest Link" is probably going to be
in the transmission or rear end.
I had an EB-3 Civic back in the late seventies that had the same crankshaft "girdle" setup the S2000 has and the only durability concessions that had to be made to run it in enduro races that
"saw" 12,000-13,000 rpm for 12+ hours
at a time was that there were fresh stock bolts in the bottom (along with the top end components that would allow it to reach those rpm's.
Which is the long way around to saying you will probably run out of transmission before you run out of "engine"

 

Get the block sleeved, run some dish pistons at 9:1 and you're gravy. You'll spend about $5000 to get it right internally, but you'll be able to handle 1-1.5 bar easy.

 

BTW,

Arias makes a set of dish 9.0:1's for our motor I'm running 12.5:1 in mine..... SSSHHH!!

 

Hehe, I
