There is no such thing as D series turbo parts. Civics did not come turbocharged. If you want the motor to withstand boost, you may want to invest in some quality aftermarket internals. If you're looking for a cheap boostable Honda motor, I would suggest the B18B.

yo man ive got a DOHC zc longblock in my 91 crx wit just headers, intake, and it is a constant pull it has less than 30,000 miles on my motor wit a stage two clutch 7lb lightin flywheel and i plan to go all motor and spray a 55 shot cuz the zc is a strong motor i advise that u drop it in a hf crx cuz it is the lightest model crx

Nato doesn't come on here anymore. And he lives back in TX now. Still trying to get his damn Cadillac sold though.

From what I hear, Stock ZC's are only good up to 200hp. if that helps out at all.
