I believe you can find everything you need at www.7thgencivic.com
Essentially your looking at anywhere from 130-205whp with unknown reliability compared to 165whp and a six-speed for the same price. All of the kits are fairly new and running on piggybacks like the e-manage. If there is anything i've learned about modifying a car its do it right the first time. The k20a2 is the future as far as honda performance is concerned and the d17 has possibly the worst aftermarket following at the present time. So your options boil down to the following:
a) buy a turbo kit
boost her under 10psi and beat rsx's
buy another cheap d17 when she blows from you turning up the boost/poor tuning/bad gas
b) buy a k20a2 with the right mounting hardware
enjoy your 6th gear, 8 grand redline, and extra 75 hp
buy either i/h/e or a turbokit with the money you would have used on your blown motor and enjoy the knowledge/reliability of the ever-growing k-series community.
