i have a 99 si with a b18c1 the gsr swap has close to 70k on it. i have been looking into boosting my motor for a while now. I am still unsure of what direction to go in. I know one thing. I drive my car everyday to school and to work. the set-up must be reliable. I am only looking for numbers around 25o-280. boosting conservativly around 6-9psi. would i be better off leaving internals stock? What size turbo should i get? Internal wastegated turbo or a smaller trim t3/t4 set-up with a 38mm wastegate. Would putting in rods and low comp pistons make my car more reliable? Am i better with a production kit (DRAG GEN III, REV HARD..etc.) or piecing together my own.

 

reliability comes down to tuning really

And the fairly weak ringlands that are the norm on all honda engines.
