Default bout to boost b18c1...last minute questions

whats good...bout to throw the xs engineering kit on my stock b18c1
going to get a compression test...only 40k on the motor....tell me something
the xs kit is very complete, and will have a pretuned apexi power fc controlling all engine paramters

just looking for a solid 7 psi ....nothing more
will my stock internals hold up ok? eveyrhting will be fine tuned for maximum reliabily and driveability....but want to know if it is in all honesty a must to build the motor for such a basic boost

You'll be fine at that pressure w/ stock internals. The POWER FC is a great tool to use from XS Engineering. I'm using the HKS 3037 w/ Power FC, and it is absolutely FANTASTIC.

I've used those kits before, and i truely believe they are wonderful

Thanks. I try as much as possible. The main honda I'm running is a 1998 DC2 w/ an HKS 3037 Turbo, 850cc Siemen Deka Injectors, Fully Built 9.4:1 GS-R block w/ 81.5mm JE Pistons, Eagle Rods GE HD sleeved. Being installed now is a KAAZ LSD, running a B16B Power FC w/ Boost kit... It's not bad, actually.

Next is an EVO VIII.

7psi doesnt mean anything, you can pull timing and add fuel all day long while running 15psi.
