Default Turbo build opinions?..

I'm looking to build a very mild turbo build, my goals would be to 250-300 hp while staying on California 91 pump gas, now I've been looking into small TiVo setups and it seems that the t3 turbo(if you have other suggestions let me know) seems to fit my goals and budget while also having a lot of aftermarket support, my questions is, would it be safe and reliable if I could run 8-10 psi of boost on p30 pistons mounted on a 89mm crank with gsr eagle rods, or are tere another oem pistons I could run to lower the compressions if it's wayto high on p30 pistons, I'm also going to run a b16 head and I was wondering what would be the best oem cams to run with adjustable cam gears, I currently have b17 cams, and what would you guys recommend on injectors size?.... Any recommendations or changes are welcomed. And I'm also going to running neptune rtp demon ecu

1) You gotta start looking at the B16 and B18 setups, there are a ton of threads on it here. Use the Google search for that.

2) Stop using PSI to judge where you need to be. You stated a hp goal, stick with that.

3) What the hell is a TiVO setup? Are we talking about old TV/DVR, Plasma televisions setups now? please use language that is simple and to the point. No slang, k?

4) you need a budget. A place to tell us what you've looked at so far, or examples of what you want. what you're asking is WAY TO VAGUE and not that focused. Anything. Pictures, threads, your own ideas on a cocktail napkin..

You're in Ontario, CA.. One of the meccas of import Honda tuning. time to start doing some of your own investigating.

I have been liking into them, I just can't find any b18 setups that use p30 pistons

I just wanted to know if p30 pistons on gsr rods would be able to handle 8-10 psi(that what I assumed would get me to my power goals) on 91 pump gas

And I meant to type turbo, it was autocorrected

1500-2000 is my budget if I need to higher my expectations on the budget I can save more money and take awhile longer to build correctly

that's a turbine flange system, not a turbo.. more specification, please..

most pistons can fit, but its not necessary to switch

8-10 psi yields what hp?

OP - A friend of mine is using this turbo. Some said the charger would be a bit too big, where others (like myself), have assured him it will work just fine.....

What I'm trying yo ask is, if I can even run 8-10 psi on p30 pistons with gsr rods, without any detonation issues if I'm using 91 pump gas

8-10 psi, can equal xhp also the detonation depends on the tune
