What turbo?
I'm looking to throw roughly 30-32psi (will be willing to turn it down a notch) at a little single slam in order to make 550+whp and was wondering what turbo would be best for the setup, as i'm not a master on turbos.
Also, i was looking at some different intercoolers. My friend just so happened to offer to trade me a "Godspeed" intercooler and $300 for my rims, i couldn't tell you what model it is or anything but it's a backdoor, 3" thick, roughly 24" long and maybe 6-8" tall. I was just wondering if this is even a good brand as i haven't heard of them before and possibly what it might hold for boost.
And lastly, i want to boost around 12psi on the daily, making roughly 300whp give or take. And i'm wondering...what do i do about injectors? Should i run secondaries, or will just some...say 1000cc's do? I'm used to working on all motor 350's and what not so this isn't really my strong point.

Re: What turbo?
Welcome to coming over to the import world..
30-32 is pretty crazy on a little single jingle without a complete rebuild.
Now lets tackle the 1st question: 550WHP is a crazy number. I would look to something more realistic as far as power goals. 250whp is quite alot of power for a light car. It can be acheived with a little work to make sure everything holds together.
Since you work on 350's, you already know to do a leakdown/comp test of the donor engine. Singles weakest link are the rod bolts and rods after 250whp. Another is the oil pump. You'll need to shim the pump as to not starve the engine.
2nd question: What turbo?
Since your new to the boosted world, reading a compressor map and understanding the efficiency range will be key to match the right turbo to your power goals.

Also, This posting is outdated and we dont use half the parts listed except for the obvious ones.. but it will give you a better understanding of how everything works with Honda engines. >> http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html
Im sure that FMIC will be fine as long as its holding pressure.
300 DD WHP is quite alot. but im sure you know that having this much power in a 2400lb car can lead to disaster really quick if you havent upgraded the suspension and brakes. Why have all this power if you cant control it and stop the car. Torque steer & over/under steer will be there as well unless you do some suspension tuning.
Remember, these cars are over 12 years old, so new bushings and other suspension components will have to be replaced.
Also, WHP doesnt matter. Its a made up number and doesnt mean ****. Torque is whats going to move the car.
below is a dyno of a 385whp/225tq 1.8l GSR engine on 19lbs
And here is my dyno of my B20 2.0l 235whp/220tq on 12lbs
^
Now my 2.0 doesnt rev that high but the power stays thru the power band..The 1.8 Has alot of revs to make almost the same amount of torque.
Read why it doesnt matter here:

Good luck with your build and you better have some deep pockets if your serious about coming into the honda scene. Parts arent cheap and remember this one rule:
Fast
Reliable
Cheap
^^ Pick 2 and the 3rd is what its not
Edit: after spending all ur hard earned $$ on building.. make sure you research your tuner. Hondata and Neptune are both great tuning platforms for honda engines. Usually any tuner who uses this software are 90% of the time a reliable tuner.
