a turbo on a stock d17? probably a bad idea. If i were to want to put a turbo in... I'd probably want better pistons and rings, connecting rods, i'd think about a ported and polished head to handle the added airflow. cooler running sparkplugs. I don't know enough about the d17 block to say yes or no, but if you wanna go faster. delete your AC compressor put on a pulley in it's place, make it lighter. if you wanna go fast for reasonably cheap, nitrous might be a better idea. I would highly suggest going to your friends at the honda dealership and make friends with a tech. they'll know what would need to be strengthened.
