i took apart my 1.3 civic engine ,the whole bottom end has been done up its got brand new over sized pistons, its never been fired since the rebild so ill just keep doing this one up.I was thinking about shaving the head a bit would this be worth it?

Sorry but he's sprouting crap. The 1200 and 1500 (or 1600) heads are completely different and the cams are not interchangable.

i went and saw a guy about tuning my 1200, he said that a 1500 cam from a civic or accord would be able to fit , then with a set of extractors exaust shaved head port polish and a few more mods the civic would be good for over 100 hp is this true?

Look around in the board and see the incredible amount of info and then decide. Everything you need to knkow is here. However, if you want to keep the 1200 rather than change engines here is the best combo:
Intake:various hot carbs and intakes including webbers, sidedrafts, etc.
Exhaust: 4-1 headers available around here for vaguely $200-300, 1 7/8" or 2" pipe, flow through muffler.
Head: Hot cam, valve job, port intakes.
Block: Bore out 2mm, 1300 crank, 1200 rods, custom pistons (same $$ as stock and higher quality with custom compression) or you could put in the famous Goldwing pistons using the 1300 rods.
Yeah, you can get 100 hp but that is a couple grand away.
In the mean time a good carb, followed by good exhaust, followed by a moderate cam will do alot of good.

Just curious found this article stating I could get a 100hp, now I want to do this in an automatic and knowing that I lose a little horse power in the auto I was thinking of trying to get a turbo running 50 hp or nos and I am not sure if I have to forg pistons and so fourth or the stock internals will take it. Heres the article pasted anyway 100hp EB

Lets start with the original motor. The first generation civics were fitted with an EB engine. These were available in three guises, EB1, EB2 and EB3. The block was basically the same in all three (EB1 had a 2mm smaller bore diameter), the head got gradually increasing valve sizes and better port profiles and the EB3 head is obviously the head of choice. Each different head requires the matching set of pistons to achieve the correct compression ratio. The EB1 motor put out about 50hp while the EB3 managed 55hp. If you are looking for a little more performance then start with an EB3 head. Honda made a nice set of Keihin twin carbs to suit the EB engine. These were actually released on the Japanese domestic market RS civic. The RS (stands for road sailing) was only equipped with the EB1 motor but with the twin Keihin carbs and a factory 4:2:1 exhaust manifold managed to squeeze out 70hp (25hp over stock). If you want to keep the motor as standard as possible but want more power then look no further than grabbing the crank and rods out of an EN/EJ 1300 engine. The EB's crossflow head is suited to making power. While your at it increase the compression a little, port the head a little (port match the manifolds as well) and give the timing a little more advance (recurve the distributer). Now your stock looking EB motor should be putting out about 85hp. Drop in a nice cam and push it up to the 100hp mark. You should be getting about the same economy if not better at cruise and light throttle.
