Default 99 civic ex

I have no idea where to start, if i N/A the engine set up what is the most hp i can expect out of engine? and what would be the best parts to install? My last question is would it even be worth it or should i just save the money to engine swap or install a turbo? I have a D16Y8 engine.

I'm am a fan of D series builds, but no man. It just isn't worth it in anyway to build a naturally aspirated D series.

Boost it. How much power you looking to get?

The D16y8 with a turbo, DO IT! U wont get much out of a N/A y8. So i say either turbo ur current motor or watch for a B series or somethin. B series are getting kinda played out more nowadays cause everyone and theyre mom is puting a B16 in theire civics :/ but still an option for u.
