Well i have always been a dsm guy but a couple weeks ago i came into alittle cash and decided to get a rust free clean starting point. So i flew down to florida stayed at fathers house looked around and found a 95 civic 5 speed 1.6 vtec. so far i have bought new suspension for it energy suspension master bushing set. only other thing i want for outside is front lip then thats done. Now i have no clue what to do or look for this motor. so i got a couple questions. (i want to stick with the d16z6 so no just swap it etc…) Im looking for about 300whp What do people do for trannys at that power level or is stock good? Tuning - what is the best way AEM ? Burn? i have no clue were to look for anything for this car? Internals ? what would be good for this level? Vitaras? Nitrous? i have a wet kit sitting in my room good idea on a built motor to get a bigger turbo going? o and i already have a spare block and head to work with so i can take my time with this build. im shooting for mid summer to be done with it. Head? are cams big on this car ? last anyone know any good forums for honda i been to so many just dont know the good ones or worth wile ones. What are goo sites to buy parts ? ---

You’re not gettin 300hp w/out boost from the z6. you’ll need a rod and piston combo because stock rods won’t do 300hp. ---

honestly if you want 300whp your best bet is to swap it, it will be cheaper and have a better transmission/head etc etc etc and the ability to make much more than 300whp if you want down the road ---

vitara build is still not great and your left with a horribly geared d series transmission any 94-01 integra motor will bolt up and plug right in with the use of a 94-95 ecu for that motor (ex obd1 p72 ecu for gsr, obd1 p75 for b18b) ---

I’ll just comment on the tuning bit. I’d use NepTune on a chipped stock ECU if we were tuning it. ---
