ok guys... first off i have a 97 civic dx sedan (d16y7) with 210k miles. thats a lot of freakin miles. up untill now i was planning on getting a b-series motor and turboing that... but the thing is every time i get about half the amount saved to do what i want to do i end up spending it on something... usually at circuit city because of my sweet ass discount but thats besides the point.... so i have been researching the mini-me head swap... i was planning on doing this in 2 stages... stage 1: i have a guy who will sell me a 98 y8 head for 200 bucks with 0 miles.... then i was planning on getting a mild port and polish, skunk2 cam (i think, but they only list the z6 in their applications), adjustable cam pulley, msd sci ignition and all their ignition stuff up to the wires and some njk iridium plugs, i need new injectors (tapping) so idk what i will do with that... also i would get a header (effectively defeating my cat) and im very drawn to the rs-r exmag gtII exhaust and the aem v2 cold air... for stage 2 i would rebuild the botom end (pistons 9-1, rods, crank if needed) get a clutch pressure plate and flywheel, and a new tranny b/c my second gear is going. sorry about the length of the post... the reason im thinking about all this stuff is because i could buy it in pieces so i dont spend the money on anything else.... also eventually i would like to go turbo. probably t3 t4. how much power can i expect to make in the first stage, then the second stage, and finally with turbo? please help! also anything you see that should be different please tell me.

The thing I would change would be to use the entire z6/y8 engine, not just the head, mini-me isn't the most reliable swap. You can get the whole engine for a couple hundred bucks, and it'll last way longer.
