Default Hey I'm new here.

Hello, I'm new here. Owned my honda for about 9 years now. I've maybe added about 65,000km to it in that time, not a lot because usually i only use it to go to work and back within 15km of home. I'm not particularily easy on it but I'm not that hard on it either. The old girl is a 1990 Civic SI in white. Things are starting to break down on it body wise but I've replaced a lot of drive train things recently. New Brakes all around with calipers, rotors, pads, shoes, drums and master. new ball joints, new tie rods, new winter tires last year and new alternator + battery. When it needs it i change it. I do oil changed every 12000km and use synthetic. I change the filter every 6000km. I change the trany oil when i do the engine oil because it uses same oil. Been planning for a number of years to build up the car into a bit of a track car. Been buying up new motor parts for it to turbo it but its now 2021 and the car is 31 years old, figuring out the best way to do this has been a bit of a challenge. Do i upgrade to OBD1 or not. what is required to change if i do and so forth. Car is till completely stock other then a K&N cold air intake, a newer D16Y7 bottom end and stock 90 civic SI top end. (Was never told if it was an actual Y7 top end as it is all OBD0 and i was sure Y7 head was '96 and obd1 -> correct me if i am wrong also online says the '90 SI came with an A2?? I'll have to recheck that..) my temp gauge broke on my cluster so i Jimmy rigged an after market one that is far more accurate because this is already the second cluster and they are hard to find around here. Last one the tack stopped working and its a manual transition car. I bought a 93 turbo civic of some redneck kids that didn't know what they were doing.. after tinkering and sinking 300 more on top of the 1250 i bought it for i decided to take the motor, short throw shifter, rims, lowering springs (Gave to brother for his racecar), and center console because it had an arm rest with a cubby i could store my wallet and cup holders!! (Only fits can of pop or beer lol) I jimmy rigged it to fit in my 90 LOL.Thinking of buying a truck here soon and pulling this beast off the road to build my 3 year planned project.

Parts i have in my garage are as follows:
-0bd0-obd1 jump harness
-Z6 head redneck port and polished
-Z6 sport cam (Unsure about specs as i was only told it was "Upgraded")
-I bought New Valves, springs and retainers for Z6/Y7/Y8 (Apparently all 3 heads use the same parts?? please correct me if this is wrong)
-ECM out of a turbo's '93 civic coupe with a D16Z6 (was never tuned and should be still stock as far as i know)
-Skunk2 Pro series intake
-Skunk2 Alpha series Throttle body 70mm
-Skunk2 3 bar map sensor (overkill but it was plug and play )
-DNA Ramhorn header from amazon (Cheap af and might not be able to use if i cannot find a BOV to fit it)
-DNA turbo dump pipe
-Old BOV from the Z6 and is on a pipe that went directly into the stock Z6 throttle body not on the header. connection is different and cannot be used.
-Old T3/4 5 bold turbo oil cooled (Probably replace with new as i am not sure weather the rings or it was burning all the oil in old car LOL)
-Trans/oil cooler radiator (Would like to use it for the engine oil and have it cool before going into the turbo)
-Oil adapter plate
-25 feet of 3/4 feed/return line
-Turbo inlet pipe and air cone
-Fuel rail and fuel regulator (On way but in mail)
-Apexi Air/Fuel controller
-short throw shifter for a '93 i might try and make work.
-drill bit for making the turbo return line hole in oil pan
-die for said hole to give it threds
-and a adapter thingy to attach a line too that goes in this hole... [Would like to do the same thing for the trany line, this way it gets cooled and filtered. It doesn't with a stock setup. They don't even have a filter like an auto does]
-Old oil pan with return line attached in a very ugly way and also leaks... not using that LOL... from car i bought that had a turbo in it JSYK lol.

Still need:
-70mm piping for intake and turbo system
-Injectors, ones i bought don't fit the intake
-Blow of valve, one i bought does not fit
-Hondata or a Tunned ECM or someone to chip and tune the one i currently have?
-ARP head studs
-New head gasket
-Throttle position sensor
-Boost gauge
-Oil temp Gauge
-New door handles, or a spring kit to refurbish mine as they get stuck up and you have to push them back down.
-Whole new hatch, i believe cancer is the culprit, one day when checking out my sub woofer when finished i tried to close hatch and it would close. After forcing it shut, i noticed one side sitting up about 3/4 of an inch, i thing where the hing mounts has bent due to metal fatigue.
-Tail lights for SI model car
-& Maybe rods and pistons one day...

Anything else you can think of feel free to comment or add a suggestion. Money isn't an issue, i havn't been keeping track of any sort of budget, but i have been frugal and found good deals on things. not all things panned out.... I mean i was originally broke *** and wanted to be as cheap as possible, i had a bunch of parts for 1 type of motor and parts i got more recently are kinda interchangeable. I never considered a motor swap till much later in the saving up and buying process and so now 3 years later I'm just gunna use what i got / get what else i need to finish.
