I got a 95 ex coupe, d16z6 bottom end w/d16y8 head and manifold, with a GReddy kit, and head gasket, ARP head studs, front mount from a f-max kit, AEM cam gear, and rail, sx reg., 255fi fuel pump, apexi avc-d + afc, exhaust, boost controller, and fuel controller, egt, boost press, and fuel press guages, fluidine radiator, MSD box, and wires, act extreme clutch, and flywheel...thats most of it anyway. Its alot of fun, if you want to go turbo but dont want to have to worry about blowing a $3000 swap. You can pick up a d16 longblock for cheap if you ever blow it. I havent blown it yet and I've had the kit on for 3 years now. I hit 175hp and 160tq @5.5 lbs of boost, thats 3 years after I put the kit on, and 3 chicago winters later, before the head swap, the fuel rail and regulator...now? I dont know, it feels faster though. Dont get me wrong you will have a lot of probs if you dont know take care of you **** or dont know what you are doing. Know what you are getting into, it is more maintenance than all motor.

go for it...
but realize you're not gonna have the fastest thing around, and you will probably have to upgrade your fuel system.
I have the 92-95 kit on my 98 Civic. 270cc injectors, V-AFC, MSD6BTM. with stock exhaust and no IC i put down 150whp & 140wtq @ 5psi.
I have a FMIC that's gonna go on, and going to get the EVO catback.. probably bump up the boost to 7psi and see where that takes me.
