I'd recommend 650-750cc minimum. 550cc shouldn't be used above 350hp, and will not idle or drive any different from 750's.

That GT30 will be more than enough for 350whp. Depending on the turbing housing, you could go much more than that. You may want to consider building your motor with forged pistons & rods, just to be safe.

Honda-tech may not have a good recommendation for the ecu/ems, since you may not have many Hondata/Neptune/ectune dealers. Unless you're running an FMU or VAFC hack, you shouldn't have to upgrade - just retune it for the changes.

A 2.5" exhaust will be enough, but 3" will accellerate (spool) the turbo faster. Just make sure you upgrade your catalytic converter to a high-flow version. The downpipe itself will probably require modification just due to the physical differences between turbos.



BTW nice job pushing that "baby" turbo. Most people get a big laggy turbo, run it at low boost pressure, and barely make that much power.
