want to boost my b18c gsr
i finally have got my rod bearings and crank in for my civic and just ordered a new lip and tow hooks just for looks...but i am thinking of selling my truck and boosting my b18c gsr..i won't be running anything big i just wanna run like 8 or 9psi, so i know i shouldn't need to sleeve my block unless i go bigger and i might possibly need new new rods and pistons and possibly get hasport motor mouts as to the oem ones i have unless they will work with the set up, i was also thinkin of going with vitara pistons since eagle is so expencive. but i think i should be able to run my oem crank that i just got with it and i will try and buy a used oil catch can and fab. up about a 3in piping all the way back, as for the turbo piping i think 2 or 2 1/2in should be good for the intercooler piping (as for the a/c and p/s both have been removed) and i was probibly going to go with the skunk2 valves and retainers and see if i can run the stage2 skunk cams with..and i was just kinda wanting to know what would be a good turbo for this set up and kinda give me a feel for what other parts i am going to need... it would be very much appriciated for the help and as for askin if i should go for it or not..i am going to just need the help for the parts i will need and prolly as about installation as i go on.

wow your all over tha map with this dude. leave the engine stock for 8-9 psi of boost, DO NOT run skunk2 cams. there not for mild setups and will hinder perofrmance more than supply. just leave the motor bone stock and get a nice log like the blox or inlinepro and a garret 57 trim t3/t4 and you will be good to go

depending how crazy you get with base pressure for fuel but there generally good for about 300whp out of 450cc injectors. i would recomend the new bosch saturated injectors but if your on a budjet then the dsm's will suffice
