well i was planning on swapping in a B but now i decided to just turbo my D16y8. its got 156k miles. i know im gonna need new connecting rods if i plan to go for very much power. i plan on going for around 275whp. any other parts need to be uprgraded? will i need to get it sleeved to run that much?
boosting my D

haha badass 2 ppl from MO....if anyone knows how to street tune and wants to teach me let me know....im going turbo soon and not sure on how to street tune with turboedit and 450cc.......
to run 275 i would upgrade pistons as well.....
get some vitara pistons and some eagle rods........and you should be good on the motor situation...maybe some arp headstuds as well just to be safe.....

yeah i was planning on eagle rods and arp headstuds. ill find some vitara pistons as well. what size injectors should i run?
450cc is good up to 300hp.......look into some blue top dsm injectors.........there around 60-100 bucks and they work just as good as RC injectors.....but if your car is newer than 91 then your going to need a resistor box or this http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=84006&highlight=turbo+install+pics
some ppl have had luck w/ ebay turbos. I wouldn't go that route tho. I would shell out a lil more to get a reliable turbo the first time around so you won't have to deal w/ redoing everything. As far as the turbo goes, I would get something a lil bigger. I don't think that turbo will get you to 275. Maybe a 48 ar hot w/ something a lil bigger on the comp. check out blaast performance he'll answer alot of your questions.
whats good for the dohc zc? i havent done much research about building the block
Like what he said above, save lots of $$$ and drop your goal 25 hp. But, if your gonna build on it latter. Invest in 600cc injectors, eagle rods (your gonna have to itch the block), 9:1 CP pistons, ....
just pick up some vitara pistons and eagle rods, arp head studs, new water pump, new oil pump, clean the block up reall nice and have a good tune 
with those he should be able to run about 350hp i would think with a good tune...
i thought stock sleeves can handle 500 hp?
