So i have a 97 civic lx with about 190k on the engine. Recently i purchased a y8 head and intake with the intention of just doing a mini me swap but as I thought more about it the idea came to me to just get a pick n pull y7 block and build that.

power goals for this build are 300hp to the wheels. Parts i have as of now are ls rods modified to accept d-series pistons i have acl main bearings and std bore nippon racing 9.4:1 cr and i know that it will bumped up to a static compression ratio of 10.2:1 with the mini me i know im in to rush to build this just gonna be slowly collecting parts but my main question what size turbo should I use for my goals I would also like a turbo that doesn't start spooling up till about 4k because i have a ex close gear tranny already in the car. I know that i will need alot more parts but the main concern is what turbo should i be using

again any input would be greatly appreciated

I am not sure what you expect any of the veterans here to say... they certainly aren't going to "spoon feed" you. Your sarcastic, narcissistic response to your own query (after only about 18 hours of soak) won't garner you any favor either.

You have outlined a platform and performance goal that has been duplicated HUNDREDS of times. If you had taken the time to search, you would have found countless builds documented that you can essentially copy and reach your goals if you choose to do so.

Good luck.
