Default B18c Turbo Questions

Hi guys have a few questions.
I want to turbo my gsr integra. I plan on building the engine with some low comp pistons and rods in or around 9-9.5cr and use arp head studs.

I can get my hands on a gt2871r turbo kit with 440cc injectors for reasonable money.

Would this turbo work well with the compression I'm want to use?
If so what wheel figures would I be looking at?, was thinking around 350hp.
Also would the 440 injectors be big enough or would I be best off with something like 750cc?

I also have the choice to use an itr head with standard cams and valvetrain or I can use the Itr head with supertech valve springs and skunk2 pro 1 cams. Which would work out better for me?

The turbo you run has no relevance to the CR you want to run. With that said, the GT2871R would be the perfect choice for your power goal. I'd recommend a CR of 9.5:1 to 10:1 with a legit EMS and good tune. The 440s will be too small for 350hp. 750s would be sufficient with a little room to grow.

Thanks for the reply man, Will be tuned on either hondata or neptune.
What would you think about the head using pro1 or best off using itr camshafts?

Use the ITR camshafts and not the Pro1s for that sized turbocharger, or similar. What's the purpose of the car?

That's a lot to ask from one setup. For the circuit track and street activity, keep the turbocharger small. Drag racing gets overrated anyway.

Save money on the cams and apply that money to the turbo.
