Spot on advice from Jake. We have had a few turbo'd D series in the club, even a D1.6 auto that was turbo'd. Tyr the search function to search the forum for them as they might have interesting info in there that you can use. For professionals, Rich (civicturbo79 on here) runs Dynodaze in Hinckley. He built one of the first turbos we had in the club, was a stunning mb6 he turned into a B20 turbo. Amazing bit of kit. He will have loads of info for you, and nice guy to speak to (was a moderator on here at one point too). Nice to see another D series Civic M being turbo'd.

Looks lovely round there. What a nice part of the world

Looks spot on mate. Love how shiny all those suspension parts are looking.

Needed some new plug leads and accidentally now have a red and black theme going on throughout the car. Remembered I had a little red cap for the ps fluid somewhere lol. It's the little things ay. Haha.

Times ticking for donnington. Been on call all weekend between jobs manage to fit the front knuckles and coilovers. 10mm spacers are on aswell. Offset Is much better imo. Getting really excited now. Can take her for an alignment. And about there.

Your power expectations seem fair. Personally I'd buy parts indivually. Even good Kits have issues. For example I baught a racetech kit. It didn't fit then the turbo was faulty and the manifold kept cracking was awful. I would splash out on a decent manifold. You want a good strong 3mm walled manifold. Not one of these flimsy shiny eBay ones, they will crack constantly and be a pain in your arse. Reliability.. you can make a reliable turbo setup. But turboing a stock engine you always going to be waiting for the day it goes pop imo. Maybe it never will and it will be fine. But it's a ticking time bomb, but if mapped properly and looked after at that power could be fine for many years. But if it does pop take it as part of the fun and fix it. Shopping list. Well you need a turbo. Something smallish. Manifold, wastegate, downpipe and exhaust, fuel pump, injectors, ECU a p28 to start with and a hondata s300 if you want but not required, a clutch, Oil feed and return lines. bov if you want one. I don't bother personally with bov. And an intercooler and pipework.
