Im in need of a head gasket for a 90 civic hatch with a stock d-series motor with a turbo on it.

NOW; what gasket do i need; where should i get it from; and how much should i expect to pay for it?

I'll have no problem installing it; i just need to know which one to get as i'm totally new to the honda scene;; especially the aftermarket turbo'd hondas

 

Get it from honda or a supplier that can get you honda parts.
Or get an aftermarket head gasket from most any parts dealer (there are a few on here )...but stck will do in most cases

 

so an autozone/napa/etc gasket would NOT be a good thing to put on there?

and who might one contact to obtain a honda gasket?

 

stock from HONDA..or you can get a thicker cometic and lower the compression a bit if you are still on stock internals

 

No, the only thing i buy from napa/schucks... is oil and filters. IMO it's always best to stick with honda parts (with the exception of building your engine) tune up wise, gasket wise, sensor wise, etc.....I'ver found that the non-honda parts (bosch,etc) don't last as long and work as well...and in fact it was actually $20 cheaper for my cap and rotor from an acura dealer (schucks wanted $60 for both, i paid $40 from an acura dealer).....
you can also go with a reliable after market gasket like the "Inline Pro".....check some of the sponsors web sites (here).
