D16-B20 Swap
Hi,
I'm very new to the car game and just had a few questions if someone could help me out.
My plan is to swap my D16 to a B20 with a B18 head V-tech and then boost it. Now what i need to know is since the car is extremely light i plan on switching my rear brakes to discs but that is about all i know to compensate for the speed any suggestions on anything else i should look for would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

You should learn how to maintain your car, since you are new to the 'car game'.
Not even being a dick with this post, it's just simple knowledge of maintenance will help you with your modding.

I plan on installing a turbo as well. I opted for coilovers and rims/tires as my first mod. I chose this due to the fact that you can still have a blast in a 125hp car with suspension upgrades. This allowed me to really learn how to drive fast (downshift, heel toe, apexes etc.)
Think of it this way- you can build and boost your car, but if the other systems cant handle the increase in power, then it's useless.
So my advice would be to hold off on the power adders, get your car in tip-top shape, grab some light wheels and more aggressive tires, and drive the hell out of your car on some curvy backroads.
Your car, your decision. Just my .02¢.

I agree with Caoboy. Get your car in perfect running condition then start modifying it.

We aren't dummies. Don't try to play us for fools. Go back, read those three sections in their entirety, and when you have more specific technical questions, try again. We aren't going to regurgitate the metric boatload of information already made available to you.

Think it was Grumpy that said it first.
But here is my broken quote.
The Honda Civic / Del Sol (1992 - 2000) section of Honda Tech is now a library of knowledge. Anything you can think of doing to these cars has already been attempted or done by somewhere here AND posted about.
