For $500 more, get this kit: http://www.go-autoworks-store.com/gostkit.html
You will also need an upgraded clutch, injectors and fuel pump. Get a chipped ecu and have a reputable tuner tune it.

editing my post to clarify that I would avoid the kit you posted at all costs.

Thanks man I totally new to this have no friends in to cars and trying this all on my own ! Haven't had a lot of help other than getting bashed on here for not knowing anything so this really helps me out a lot thank you I really mean that

Expect the cost to double or even triple. Do not cut corners on things like fittings and couplers.

Piecing a kit together with good used parts is WAAAAAY cheaper. I have built numerous turbo kits for things for less than 1k with baller parts. Your car sounds like its got to be pretty quick already, so maybe take your time and look on craigslist and ebay and get good parts at good prices and make your own.

internally, how many miles do you think this d15b has? how rough have you been on it? last time the timing belt was changed? valves adjusted? rings good?
if you plan on slowly turning this into a 200whp+ car, then you should definitely look into building a LOW COMPRESSION motor.
Heck, My buddy pieced together a turbo kit from using stock dsm(mitsubishi) parts, and got everything for under $1k. used the turbo, sidemount intercooler (smi), and also the injectors. everything worked great until his dad decided that the car was too loud and put an exhaust that was wayy too restrictive on and blew the motor.

yup. most likely will need a traction bar also. don't forget that it's a good idea to upgrade your brakes

when i put together my kit, everything was new minus bov and wastegate. I went with new parts b/c it was my first time going turbo and didn't want any problems buying used parts. Now 2 years later, i would have an issue buying used parts. I personally wouldn't recommend going used since you don't have friends that are into cars that can help. I'd go with the kit from go-autoworks b/c it'll save you some headache in the long run. i got my ic piping and downpipe from Greg and they come highly recommended by lots of people here on HT. Make sure you check out the Forced Induction section and catch up oon some reading

The motor has 56k on it. I've been pretty gentle on it since swap . I've been looking on Craigslist and I think I've got a good idea on where to go with this thank you guys a lot going to buy the kit and save up a little while for everything needed traction and what not happy with the car just wanted that extra peep looking for about 160 180 hp nothing crazy

First link was an eBay kit. Don't even bother

And why does everyone immediately post go autoworks stuff? Nut riders....

And you'll need some sort of engine management.

And you won't make more than 200-225... d series rods are the size of pencils and break at or above 225 crank hp

Who else makes a decent kit with quality components? OP didn't seem capable of figuring out piecing together his own set-up so a kit is a good idea. Why you even mad doe?

There are 3 d16z6 in my town that make 270-300whp on a dynojet and run low 12s.

MalcolmV8

Can you explain that? A restrictive exhaust will drop HP because the system now flows less air but how does it just blow up the motor?

BLU CIVIC

nut riders? Owner ownes and races his 4th gen. And he also test fits everything on the engine to make sure it's right. hell, you can send him your turbo components and he'd design the ic piping and dp around that. i wouldn't recommend them if the didn't do good work and i didn't buy from them myself

pissddrunx

good luck on your build.

Check out this video. This is what happens when you add more hp to your car with a turbo or a supercharger and don't build up the lower engine to handle it. This was a roushe mustang that I am sure was not cheap. The kid wanted instant hp so he supercharged his car and didn't change the rods to handle it. The sad thing is this is a school that teaches people automotive technology and theory. The teachers even helped the kid with the project.

Bottom line don't be cheap. Build your engine to handle the horsepower. The internals are just as important if not more important than a turbo or supercharger. In the long run it will save you money and a motor.

I hope everything works out for you!

Hardly. It's usually the first company to pop up in a search when you go looking for a full turbo kit and it's not as if they aren't a reputable company.

Haha obviously lol

Seriously every thread asking about a turbo setup at least 5 people toss their name out

You gotta admit though, there just aren't that many companies that do a quality -component full setup at the price. Even Synapse, AFI, and Full-Race don't give the bang for the buck that people used to years ago. Face it. There's no money in helping the Honda community. Its as bad as the bugeye Subaru crowd. Their thinking is "to hell if its good, if its cheap, I'll get it!!"

Well the update is a guy at my work bro is letting me buy his b16a for 120 bucks says the head is tossed so I'm just going to Basically keep what I have for now no turbo and go to harbor freight and get a motor stand and build my first motor (b) series from ground up and swap since 85% of people say that's the way to go and even mob Mentality is right some times lol thank you guys for your post ! But will the same suggestions you tossed out go for the new b16 just future reference ?
