For suspension, get a set of konis and call it a day. You don't need to lower, but konis will add better handling. Also, increase the size of your rear sway bar.

yeah that's one of my beefs, as much as I like the look of a lowered ride; My city has the worst streets in Ontario(Toronto) my front end would get ripped off in a half hour. Better handling you say? well consider the konis set added to my shopping list.
also forgot too mention, P2R also makes thermo-gaskets which deters heat-soak. These new Hondas did an awesome job of doing most the work for you such as plastic intake runners, etc (dont have all the specifics off hand) so this helps a bunch. But the P2R 3/4" spacer increases up to 5HP alone at the wheels by what they claim. These spacers create a vortex (air-charge) which carries into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture and resulting in tremendous gains in mid-range power, torque and fuel efficiency."
Fuel rail would be benficial for your turbo application aswell.. umm?
I think I would be better off replacing all the gaskets, just to be safe. I would hate to blow one. I was thinking about getting a set of DC headers, they seem to be pretty well built according to the community, and apparently preform quite well. Would pistons benefit me anymore? Little things that would help my engine in the long run and gain hp(even if its only 1) are defiantly worth my money.
i will agree, if this P2R spacers not for you then cool!
but it is cool that its NOS ready if you need it. lol
but for real....not like youll feel a damn thing with 4.5HP ahah!
but yes....id invest in anything to rid heatsoak!

To tell you the truth I probably would invest in that spacer, simply because it adds HP for a cheap price, and sure, maybe down the road I WILL add NOS, but as of right now, I just dont see the need. Thats just asking for a massive ticket and a car seizure in my Province.
is there a complete gasket kit on the market? I imagine there is, but What material removes heat best on an engine? I know on computers its usually copper, but aluminum works best, which is too expensive for motherboards. I guess its not really an issue for engines though? My money is hence on aluminum.
my honest opiniion on the P2R spacer would be to say that the claimed 4.5HP is BS! i think the ECU would compenate for any change it would have done really. I would have bought it for the choice of hooking NOS up not cuz of the lowsy HP claimed.
Check corpsport out, they have awesome gaskets man!
i would recommend that stuff 100%
As for HG....not sure what best one is on the market myself, ive heard some speak of making their own copper HG's and maybe its good up to a certain HP number, i dunno? but, i would use a steel HG with ARP studs myself especially with a boosted car like your about to do to the Civy!
i would hit up forums that have better knowledge on the 8th GEN Civic Si's myself if i were you. This forum has great stuff on it but not as far as your new one goes.
yeah I am just gathering some opinions from the community, my final build is a few months away, I just want to buy everything in one big lump, get the confusion out now, finalize my shopping list, then once the car rolls through, order away.I think I have enough recommended parts off this thread alone to get me to 300, but I'm going to take what I know now here, and see what the 8th gen guys think. thanks bro. Anymore ideas, feel free to chime in.

hey that Greddy turbo kit I was looking at comes with a downpipe adapter, but when If I get the kit and a separate exhaust system from magnaflow Will I need to buy a separate downpipe? the exhaust system dose not seem to come with one :S
Your going to need atleast some pistons and rods for 300whp.. And I'm not sure why you keep bringing up headers, because there is only one and none on a turbo'd application.
If you by a turbo kit, then it will come with some type of turbo manifold wether it be log, mini, or ramhorn. There is also a topmount but no need for you to by that as it's for full-race, topend power.
That spacer isn't going to add anymore power either, just add spaces for vacuum lines, n2o lines, etc. And since you do plan on going turbo I would hold off on the exhaust system to match the kit.
So do more research before you start wasting money on needless parts.
