I want a mild turbo setup on my b18b with around 275-300whp and be ABLE to rev to 8k. This is my only car and I drive it daily. Right now, I just want to prep for turbo, then bolt on the turbo when I have the funds. I am unsure about the brands of parts I am going with.

First off, I want to rebuild the bottom end with aftermarket rods, head & rod bolts and pistons with a stock compression ratio. I am not going to sleeve it b/c if I like this turbo stuff I'm going all out later on when I have more money.

Since I want to go stock 81mm bore, will I have to get oversized pistons like 81.5mm b/c of cylinder wear after 140,xxx miles on the engine?

I will upgrade the valve springs and retainers and thats it right now for the head.

For fuel management I was looking at hondata and I am still kinda clueless as to which chip I will want to run. Bigger injectors and ignition system will also be upgraded with the rebuild before turbo.

Is there anything I am overlooking so far? Sorry for being a n00b.

dont forget the brakes! going from a stock integra to 300 whp with no brakes = one wrecked integra.

how about more fuel. Pump, reg, rail?
Or ignition, wires, cap, coil, plugs

ah yes the fuel pump, reg and rail...forgot about the source of all of this power. THX

but what about piston sizing?
