I want to make around 275 fwhp an 300 crank maybe. About 3k or so on a turbo is what I'm looking to spend for everything including a fuel management system as well.

research in the forced induction forums will hope you understand what you're getting in to. You can either buy a pre-built kit (greddy, apexi, rev hard.... etc.) or build one yourself. If you want street legal and smoggable, and a good starter kit, greddy kit is what you want. If you don't care about legality, home made is better after reading up and understanding what you need for your goal.

i assume youre going to turbo your d-series, before you go adding a bunch of FI parts to it, make sure the bock and the head are still good, rebuild it, check it out, make sure everythings good first.

Okay, listen. I want to get a few facts straight. This is the EG/EK forum.
This is NOT
-The Hybrid Forum
-The Forced Induction Forum
-The All Motor Forum
-The Suspension Forum
-The EF/CRX forum
-The Drag Racing Forum

You guys really need to start thinking before you start posting in here. This forum is for issues relating to the 92-00 Civic ONLY. Swap questions, turbo questions, motor build questions, suspension questions, and anything not relating to this car DO NOT BELONG HERE.

If you still don't get it, follow the guide below to figure out where your thread should go. I have been locking/moving these threads but no one seems to get it.

Hybrid - https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=18
ANY Swap related question
B-series/K-series swap information
Any thread dealing with a motor that didn't come in a civic (Non-sohc, non-b16)
(B16/SOHC threads are welcome here, but if its only about swapping it belongs in Hybrid)
If you don't feel like going all the way to the hybrid forum, you can post in Ricey's stickied topic at the top

Forced Induction - https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=18
ANY Turbo related question
Including theory, choosing a turbo, installs, turbo motor builds, etc
If your thread has turbo in the title, or in the message body it belongs in the FI forum

Suspension - https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=54
ALL general suspension questions, e.g. "What suspension should I get?"
If the question is SPECIFIC to EG/EK's, it can be here e.g. "Can I put xx swaybar on my EK?"

All Motor - https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=44
Anything dealing with bolt ons, or engine builds for N/A b-series or d-series

Okay? Seems easy enough. Thanks for reading </TD></TR></TABLE>
