Default Turbo veterans, I need a little guidance...

This is my car presently:

92 Integra LS, i/e, stock block, stock injectors, stock fuel pump, nitrous works wet kit, 110,000 miles.

These are my plans:

1. Purchase the MaxRev Turbo kit (see post for details) along with the Hondata s200 that Kyle (2KTEG) is selling.
2. I would like to rebuild-- JE pistons (undecided on compression?), Eagle rods, and Golden Eagle sleeves (undecided on what size?) and boost 10-12 psi.
3. Ooooor, just install the turbo on the stock block and run stock boost.
4. RC 440 cc injectors (What do you think?)
5. Fuel pump (Walbro maybe, Help?)

I have a basic knowledge of f/i, but would appreciate any input. I know there are a lot of knowledgeable and respected people on this board.

Thanks

Raul

For 10-12 psi, I would not do #2.

Indeed, I turbo'd my LS engine with 100K miles on it. IT held up just fine until a few month ago when it died to due shitty tuning(my fualt).

I would have to agree I would not Sleeve the block if your only going to run 12-13psi. If you were to run say 15+ or maybe more then it might be a good idea, but any lower and it really will be just a waste on money in my opionion.
