Is this the best price for the parts I need?

Rebuilding my engine, but want to do it with better-than-stock parts.
Is CI Motorsports reputable? And is there maybe another site that would be cheaper?

If you got cash, then sell the N/T and just buy a Turbo DSM.

That's the best Suggestion that I have ever hear in this thread.

OP.

Unless your car has some sentimental, But get a Turbo car and the money you are going to spend on your build, you can spend it on the turbo car, You will gain more power with a stock turbo then a NT with a custom engine.

That doesn't answer what I asked in this thread. It would be too much trouble trying to resell this one with it being messed up.

So should I just fix it with stock internals rather than performance, and then drive that until I see one for sale?

Youre way better off doing that. TBH. Thats the first thing 420a guys hear when they say turbo : "sell it and buy a gst/tsi/gsx". Its for a reason though. Its just cheaper and easier to start from a forced induction platform than to make one yourself. The aftermarket is huge for turbos, not so big for 420aT's. More custom work may have to be done.
Also, consider tuning with megasquirt or link.... I believe link is alot easier to install and use. MS is a great tuning device, dont get me wrong(dont want to get the 420a crowd angry!)

And honestly buying a B-series VTEC Honda would be much more fun than a 420A DSM. The aftermarket support is rediculous and with that much overcrowding parts are cheap. And you can much farther with a turbo Civic that a turbo'd 420A DSM, as well.

I only say this because I've owned a 99 Civic Si. It has to be, by far, the funniest N/A cornering car I've ever owned.

A 2G eclipse has been my dream car for years, so i'm gonna have to decline.
