Search is your friend. Been covered about a dozen of times. Depending on your power goals, you could just get a b18a1/b1 or B20 and that is actually quite fun to boot around streets. If aiming for 200whp then search this forum you will find plenty of information.

I think I asked this question about 3 times already also, lol
you can easily boost a stock d16 to 200whp.. but remember tuning is the key, so invest a good amount on a good tune.
I'd just buy individual parts for your turbo setup.. you could slowly just look around, (kijiji, craigslist, torontocivics, ebay)
Buy a good turbo/manifold/BOV/injectors and the rest you could pretty much find on ebay.

lol, well he mentioned building motor, for boost etc...........if he wants to cut corners and cheap out on a build (not saying he will w/e he wants to do is up to him) all he has to do is put together a generic turbo kit, slap it onto his motor and blow it up after a while and just go and put another D in there, they only cost like what $200-300

if you are asking these question, sorry to brake it to you, but you are not ready for this. do research and read as much as possible. turbod16 is a good place to start, honda tech has some good DIYs.

get from wreckers a used b14t turbo, and a 88-91cx exaust manifold, get a bracket made to hook up the turbo on the manifold connect to exaust and add filter your rolling, dirt cheap! if you want to intercool it, get a used intercooler from a old audi 5000 take it and get it slightly modified (had it done for under $100) and some plumbing from home hardware and you got it intercooled! all for under $500 for sure!
