First off that clutch will be fine.
How do you figure??? Why would you assume a clutch that is rated for 30% less power than you're aiming for will last very long?

Main thing will be to run a good amount of fuel to keep cyl temps down
What does fuel have to do with keeping the temps down in a turbocharged engine?

P.s. The only reason I ask is because I don't know, not trying to be antagonistic I promise

more air = more heat which in turn ='s "knock". This is what kills most performance builds, But the more fuel you add the cooler the temps go in the cyl walls. Now I aint saying to go out and run it pig rich flooding it out or anything but my main point is that if you stay in a good target air/fuel ratio range, pull timing correctly, and do not beat on a engine it will serve you good.

What do you think about performance radiators for 300 HP+ builds?

I recomend upgrading the radiator for a 200hp civic, the stock ones are tiny

so would u say a msd boost timing master is a good thing to add cause the guy who is tuning mine said he wanted to add one and i said do it and send me the bill. it does something with retarding the timing or spark. something. anyway i have that and alcohol injection and until i hit boost the alcohol don't kick in. so it gives me all the fuel i need when i need it and i won't be running rich when im not entering boost.

also the stage one will not work. look it up stage 3 and 4 are for boost applications u can pick a stage 4 clutch master on ebay for $333. Dude it just won't hold. not trying to start any fights cause i say it was getting kinda heated in here but, i am 99% it won't hold unless u have some super stage one clutch that no one has heard of and in that case where u get it cause i want one.LOL

If you wanna build a car, build it for about 25% OVER what you are going to push it, otherwise you're just asking for trouble.
one of the best points in this thread. im shooting for 700hp in the end (no, not daily driven, no, not a D, no, not stock parts, and it will probably take me almost a decade to get there) and im building for almost 1000.
