a ek4 or b16a tranny can hold 300hp.. usually the first thing to break on a highpowered civic will be the driveshafts(axles).. followed by the mounts....overall 300hp is not asking a lot of a b series transmission.. also I'm sure you know this but no stock honda OEM clutch will hold 300hp since you'll be making close to 200lbs torque..and that's more than enough to destroy a OEM clutch
