if my guess is correct the r18 is almost the same engine as the d17 right? well the d17 could handle 80% power increase that is alot.

from dezod site:

Dyno Results: Our AUTO transmission 2001 Civic EX made 90 WHP & 84 WTQ prior to turbo, and after the addition of our turbo kit made 146.7 WHP & 121.9 FT/LBS of WTQ @ circa 8 PSI w/ a T3 Super 60 turbo, on 93 Octane (no additives or sprays & running a fully functional catalytic converter on the down pipe) on a 76 degree day in Buffalo, NY. That is a 63% power increase, and a 45% torque increase at the wheels on a mere 8 PSI on a stock motor, automatic transmission vehicle. 5 Speed vehicles can expect an additional 15-25% more power.

The car has been daily driven and drives like a stock turbo'd car with no idle issues. A/C, P/S & ABS remain untouched as well.

The entire kit requires minimal to no fabrication involved. (The front bumper will have to be cut in some areas for the FMIC to fit properly. The stock fuel rail requires modification for the injectors. The RSX injectors clips plug into the existing harness. The other injector sizes require being wired in. Holes must be drilled into bumper support to mount the FMIC.) This is the most comprehensive kit available on the market. We use all quality components such as Blitz, GReddy, Garrett, Denso, TiAL...Just to name a few.
