Icon2 '97 Spec B18c All Motor Build Help

What's up N/A gurus!?! I need some help/input with my current build. It's a '97 Spec JDM Type R (b18c). Here is what I have so far:

 Hasport Mounts
 Hasport Axles
 ACT Clutch
 ACT Flywheel
 Walbro 255HP Fuel Pump w/kit
 BLOX Fuel Pressure Regulator
 RC 310cc Injectors
 Hondata s200 -> s300 upgrade
 Ralco Underdrive Pulley Set
 ARP Head Studs
 ARP Flywheel Bolts
 ARP Pressure Plate Bolts
 Mishimoto Radiator Hoses
 Gates Drive Belts
 PasswordJDM Whale ***** Intake
 Skunk2 Throttle Body
 Skunk2 Intake Manifold
 Skunk2 Fuel Rail
 Skunk2 Pro 1+ Camshafts
 Skunk2 Pro Series Cam Gears
 Skunk2 Pro Series Valvesprings
 Skunk2 Titanium Retainers
 Skunk2 Pro Series Valves
 Skunk2 Alpha Series Header

I'm keeping the block stock for now as the compression ratio is 11.1:1 on this engine. I've been looking around at similar setups and trying to get a decent build together.

Lemme know what you guys think!

Looking to make around 200-210whp...

That's perfect for that power. SKunk2 ALpha.... DONE. Especially for the type of use that I'm seeing for this car based upon the parts you're already using. Why get anything else?

Ditch that intake and invest in sometheing that will actually make power. IE. 3 inch to a V-Stack or a tuned length.

^^^Agreed with both the guys up top. Only thing I would do differently is a Performer X manifold and leave the stock valves in the head. Both Have proven to make a little more power.

The intake came with the swap. What exactly is a "V-Stack"?

Get a little larger, like the 430-550cc range from Delphi or a Bosch... And no, there's no need for ID1000s.

Yeah, I was looking at some 440cc ones. I think that will be good. Do you recommend a fuel pressure regulator or can i control fuel okay with the s300 alone?

I would get a fuel pressure regular if you are going to run the injector dynamics. They are recommend to be run at a higher pressure than stock ( well most injectors for that matter).

Also pick up a fuel pump. Xenocron has a good deal going on for injectors and fuel pump. Call and see if you can sub the 1000 cc for 725cc.

For the normal High impedence 440cc injectors, there's no need for an FPR

So, just get 440cc saturated injectors, then? And I'm good? No FPR needed?

Looks like your on the right track here mate. I would get an adjustable FPR with gauge just to be on the safe side. After all this money and time, wouldn't want something so small to hold your build back!

For injectors. Get some OEM RDX 410 cc injectors. You can make them over 500cc by just bumping up the fuel pressure.

That's interesting. Never heard of anyone running those...

My RC 310cc injectors finally came in yesterday after waiting for 2 weeks for the seller to ship them.

I found some BNIB RC 440cc here locally for $175. I'm gonna scoop these up since I had to file a Paypal claim for the RC 310cc ones the guy never shipped me on here. His name is S13Morgan so everyone knows.
