i have a d16z6 abd i would like to go faster i seem to always lose a race and its not something im use to i wont to turbo it and get what not i ask you guy who know more and have more experience than me. I hear that if you buy a turbo and bolt it all on you will screw up your motor and then i hear that you need to do get more parts that don't come with the kit so if what im asking is can someone explain what i will need and if i need to build my motor up more and if they know a good kit that wont let me down your advice would be appreciated.

Find a local garage with a dyno and ask them what you need after you pick out a turbo kit. They will school you. I advise against forum advice. It turns into a mess fast order.

if you build up your bottom end and all thatgood stuff get a good tune after the turbo your looking around 3k (thats my research since im going that route too) a swap you looking at 2500 for a GSR motor (give or take) and if you do it yourself that saves a lot of money but if you cant your looking at a lot more for a complete swap at a shop

edit....im building my bottom end and everything looking to get 300whp on it a stock gsr has around 200 if that

You seem like you're not sure what you want, you just want power. Well, what are your power goals, first. If you're just looking for a little kick a GSR swap would suit well. If you're looking for a little more, you could always turbo the z6. Of course, turbo will be more expensive (if you do it right).

Well if money did matter then you could turbo and get a great tune plus a few supporting mods and low boost and you'd be fine to a certain point. But after a considerable amount of boost you will need to have your motor built up. But thats with any motor you turbo. so be it a B or d series. Just remember that part.

I heard the Z6 head has the best airflow and they do not even need a port and polish. That is always a plus.
