Pretty much.

You can re-use some stuff, but for all the hassle of getting individual parts...and I mean a lot of hassle, you just need to find a DOHC engine and computer and transplant it.

Here's a quote from the FAQ (which you should read sometime)

Q: Can I put a 2.0 DOHC head in my 2gn car?

A: Yes, it will bolt up. But there are quite a few modifications necessary, so if you plan on doing it, it would be a good idea to have an entire DOHC donor motor to pull off of. You'll need: the manifolds, throttle body, sensors, timing belt drive components, cam gears and wiring harness to get it running. You'll also need a DOHC computer to get the right fuel and spark. SOHC's and DOHC's will run with the wrong computer, just not that well. The fuel and spark tables are totally different because the engines have different airflow characteristics.
