except for the fact that the d17 is almost completely different externally which is where the turbo and all that is bolted to it goes. The engine bays are also drastically different. Just buy one for it or that Snakeshit guys turbo for an em2. I still think either way, it is a lost cause and you are better off to buy an older, more swappable, lighter civic and keep your nice new car the way it is and don't destroy it.

the link doesnt work, but 400 bucks is a pretty good deal for a turbo kit, even if it is a ebay kit, you can always upgrade the ebay turbo to something more reliable like garret, precision, turbonetics, etc..
