Default Two likely newb questions

I posted my likely config for huffing my JDM B18 Type-R.

I've been told we're upping the fuel injectors. Should the fuel rail be swapped out as well for something better? I suspect it may not need it for my mild state of tune I'm asking for.

Also, since this engine is not in a honda/acura chassis, I just hung a filter off the valve cover where the PCV valve goes. I've been told, good, bad put a catch can and vent there, doesn't matter.

There car will be turbocharged with longevity and driveability in mind first, ultimate hp 3rd. I don't want to open the engine.....as I'v e said before.

The car is so light at 1660 pounds that it is really quick with the stock B18 in it. If I were to get it to 275 hp, this car will really, really notice the difference. If I get a bit more from a good tune that would be nice too.

I'm just finishing up the most basic body work to get it down to Go-to Autoworks. The car is really ugly now as I've got a raw one piece fiberglass nose on it. I'm just getting to the point where I can drive the 600 miles 'Bama and give Greg and his folks the most time and room to work on it.

It'll get finished and painted on next years budget.

Keep the rail. Get a catch can.

or put the original PCV setup back on. But otherwise, yes, what grumblemarc here says is correct.
