The most important piece of advice I can give you is to take your time and research your butt off on here (the searchbutton is your friend). You can put together an amazing kit yourself for around $1500.You can spend the rest on eitherbuildingyourmotor or maybe a b series swap. And dont overlook suspension if you havent already made some upgrades in that department.

for internals get forged pistons and rods. weisco makes good pistons and eagle makes good h beam rods. also with the turbo set up i would suggest researching. i am going to point you in the direction of where to start looking and reading. i would suggest piecing your own kit together. i am almost to 2k right now, but i have a better set up than a 2k pre made kit.

here is pete's grocery list: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_196090/tm.htm

here is a lot of info about what each part of the kit does: http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html

hope everything goes well.

I think Wiseco turbo pistons (Ive got em in my motor and find they are pretty good) and Crower rods would be mega sweet.
