There is no such thing as D series turbo parts. Civics did not come turbocharged. If you want the motor to withstand boost, you may want to invest in some quality aftermarket internals. If you're looking for a cheap boostable Honda motor, I would suggest the B18B.

yo man ive got a DOHC zc longblock in my 91 crx wit just headers, intake, and it is a constant pull it has less than 30,000 miles on my motor wit a stage two clutch 7lb lightin flywheel and i plan to go all motor and spray a 55 shot cuz the zc is a strong motor i advise that u drop it in a hf crx cuz it is the lightest model crx

From what I hear, Stock ZC's are only good up to 200hp. if that helps out at all.
