here is the information for rebuilding your motor. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=207562 and the parts needed for the turbo are endless and depend on the price. you can get a kit, or custom kit. to help you get started you can read this and become more familiar and when you have questions on those we can help you even more. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=374054

hope this helps you get started. Just to tell you read as much as you can. i read this forum for more than 8 months before i every got started.

Do a lot of research. I thought I knew a lot about engines, but forced induction is a whole new animal. You can save yourself a lot of trouble and money. Once you start spending money in one direction it is hard to change.

I might ditch that block and get a d16, if you can? The d15 supposedly has less webbing and is less robust than the d16, so you get a little more displacment and it's sturdier...just my thoughts.

If you're planning on a DIY turbo kit and need some misc. parts check out this site turboxpress.com The site is a little cheesey, but they can get you mandrel bent piping, flanges, gaskets, clamps, etc. (not to mention turbo chargers). I'm not sure if this stuff is listed on the site yet, but they are a small, dependable, and flexible source.
