As for motor since you're going turbo, go w/ a Ls/Vtec. Now you can go to JDMShit .com, passwordjdm.com, jdmcars.com. They all have good Jdm items to choose from.

Without a very good tune a turbo ls/vtec isnt the best option. A B18c1 would be a better choice, the bottom end is stronger.

you have lots of research ahead of you otherwise you'll just end up wasting your money on stuff you dont need. ask specific questions if you expect to get help.

Since you're only 17 just enjoy your car & just build your B16 up if you have the cash to do so. That's pretty good for only 17. Hell, I didn't have my first car until I was 19 which was a 74 VW Superbeetle. Great car.
I wouldn't get rid of my B16 for a B20. Unless you had the SOHC motor.
Be safe & enjoy your Civic. Is it a DX or Si?

don't waste yoru time with b series, get an H at least. You will have fun and most likely wont feel the need for any more speed for a while.
