Icon5 Durability of 1999 EK Civic VTi

Hi,
İ saw a lot of topic on forums about b16a2 civic engines and load them to +500 hp with turbo and forged parts. İ really love civics and jdm style and i would like to have one of them with lots of horsepower and sleeper look
İ drive 98 İmpreza GT with downpipe, spec c brakes, prodrive intercooler and boost control upgrade (+0.4bars) car is around 260-270 hp (1210kg) and its very useful daily for me.
İ want to build a powerful turbo civic.İ want to know durabilty of the other parts. İf i had brought the car, i think i wouldnt have big problems about engine because critical parts would be replaced with forged or new ones.
But i think others, imagine everything went perfect and i have completed my engine without any problem and its working fine on 500hp, Can they (diff, gearbox, axles and other parts on 70k mpg) cope against my 500hp civic more than 200 meters?
İ have read some projects and they were just talking about engine parts and wondered why they dont worry about other parts of the car. Here is lot of turbocharged civic owners and i though they can answer my question
Thanks

This forum is primarily for the purpose of maintaining and repairing the factory configuration 1992-2000 honda civics and del sols.

Questions about turbo charging and other performance topics should best be asked in the turbo and forced induction section of honda-tech.com

Our most active and helpful forum members in this section are here to guide and advise other members on how to repair, not how to modify their vehicles.

Cheers!

All good, and while technically not the wrong section, I don't know of anyone of the regular tech contributors who could advise you on what you're looking to achieve
