Learn what the hell you're talking about, then come up with an idea.

25-30psi out of any turbo is massive for a street build.

Maybe I'm missing something but judging by the way you worded that I'ma say you're not skilled enough to change the oil in your car, none-the-less do all that bullshit you just mentioned.

PS: It's VTEC, not vtech.

Use Vitara pistons.

Use a GSR.

Sohc + Vitaras + TT/Eagle rods + arp studs. Under a grand and you're good for 400 or more.

If you're building a race motor you'll have to pull the compression ratio on the ITR to pull sufficient boost or you'll need to run race fuel. Since you're going over 300hp you'll need forged internals anyways, so what's the sense in buying a motor that's made for high compression all motor HP if you're just taking the pistons/rods out and replacing them with aftermarket ones in prep for boost?
