Default Winter Time Modifications

Well this post isn't about making a winter civic. I am parking my civic for the winter. Around here we get snow, slumps of snow, ice in snow, and it will tear up a body kit. Well I decided I will put it in the garage and do some work, amke it faster for spring time fun. Well first thing (Hell it's even my first post) I want to take the granny gear 4 speed out and put a 5 speed in. The 5 speed won't be from a SI, but it will be a five speed. Second thing I want to do is convert it from that stupid DPFI. to MPFI. Now here is where my questions start.

I found a thing online once about converting a DPFI to MPFI D16ZC... Well my engine isn't that, but would it still work for just converting ym car to MPFI?

Second will a 1.6 MPFI manifold bolt up to my 1.5?

Third what thing will I need to convert my car from DP to MP? I mean other than the manifold, injectors, fuel rail, and throttle body what will I need so Ic an wire and convert my car over.

or if there is a thread were someone already did this, send me the link cause I can't use the search box, says I don't have a token...

So thanks in advanced, and this is another thing where I want to take pics and keep you guys updated.

hmm. well you can convert your 1.5 dpfi into a mpfi, it doesnt matter if its from a 1.6 or 1.5
with no problems. you can tell of the slight hp gain. people said its easy and other people are having trouble with it.

parts list:

88-91 crx/civic si intake manifold, 1.6L. [best one to use imo]
88-91 crx/civic si throttle body and throttle cable.
88-91 crx/civic si fuel rail/injectors.
88-91 crx/civic resistor box.
cold/short ram air intake.
some wires and pins.
and a mpfi ecu from a crx/civic si or crx hf. [i would go with the si]

optional:
full crx/civic si engine AND cabin harness. [since its gonna be parked, i think its well worth it.

im sure i forgot some other parts
but heres the link:

Well here is a question, can you use a Turbo with a DPFI? If so then I will most likely wait and do a turbo job, instead of a MPFI conversion. You may be asking why wouldn't I do a MPFI conversion for the turbo... Well the reason is I don't have much money to my name, and I cna wait threw the holidays and my birthday. Then buy a Turbo which would be more power than a MPFI conversion. But see then that makes me think after my birthday (Big Ol 18th) I will be able to get a job easier. So then just save up money, do a MPFI and Trubo, but all and all I jsut need a little more power not alot. So all I need to know is can I turbo a DPFI without problems? And if I do a simple turbo kit, nothing big, will I need to have my computer tuned? Or can I run a small turbo and not have to worry about the computer? IDK, just let me know what I can do involvine a turbo and DPFI. Cause a turbo is my key to what I want... More power, but not outrageous power. Oh I also read that the D15B1 has a restrictor plate under the throttle body, this restrictor plate, can it be taken off, and the can run fine? Like no odd stuters or anything if I would take it off, secondly can i take it off?
