okay...here goes...

ive been wanting to do an engine swap ls/vtec or built b16...but plans have changed...so now i need to learn a lil bout forced induction...
my friend is selling a greddy turbo kit...soon to be in my car...
how well will this setup work on a stock motor sohc vtec?
can i safely boost 10 psi after install?

I had the same setup on my D16. It worked great, very little turbo lag good power and the fit and finish makes it look like it came stock on the car. I don't know about 10 psi, I left the boost at the stock (5.5 psi I think) Untill my car got stolen But if you upgrade the fuel system that should be safe. by the way, if your friend falls through I have my kit FS. It is missing only the pipping and the black box for very cheap.

D16 + GReddy kit = fun

Get some fuel and spark, and tune it, and have fun. I ran 13.3 on mine.

u ran that time using which one of your recommended setups? just wondering cause i am following your stage 1 to a T. I will b buying and installing the setup in the latter part of April.....I will have 4,100 dollars to spend on parts i hope that will cover it....if that is more than enough i wonder what else i could buy?

The kit is a blast. You could boost to 10 psi if you had the right fuel and timing management like Hondata or AEM. You can even hack it with a boost dependent fpr, missing link, etc., then intercool it and you will be set.
I am using the Greddy piggy back FCU good to up to 7-8 psi. Since I will be going Hondata, eventually, I am not buying a bunch of stuff I won't use once I get the Hondata, VAFC, 12-1 Vortech, missing link, etc.

?? If you get Hondata you wont need the Vortec FMU or a V-AFC, or a missing link.

My buddies single Cam with a GReddy Turbo. He's really having fun with it.

That is correct. You will need a high-flow fuel pump, 440 injectors or better, depending on your boost, and a 1-1 fpr. That's about it. The VAFC functions can be done by Hondata. Missing link is not used because you want the map sensor to see boost.

I will actually be updating that entire list soon. As days go by, I learn more, and figure out better setups. Look back soon, there may be a few slight changes.

I thought that the Hondata system mandates that the stock fuel pump is used with the addition of the 440's. I know that is how it is for SC'd set ups. Are turbo set ups different?
