you cant say u wanna boost 10 lbs. 10 lbs on a T4 will be a lot more stressful on the engine than a say K03 would be. you rate it by horsepower. Horse power goals will help those familiar with the b18's suggest pistons and other things you might need to accomplish your goals safely.

But if your boosting and ur gunna have the pistons out anyway, i'd say bearings will be a smart idea (considering mileage since last rebuild) and lower compression pistons maybe. or just spacing the head. I really have not done any research on b series engines but give someone more details on your power goals and budget and i'm sure atleast one or two of all the posts will be helpful. This is honda-tech afterall...

lookin to spend around 2500 and getting like 250hp if possible or more.

You should downgrade your pistons to PR3s or P72s. 10psi of boost or .7 Bar would probably yield an effective compression ratio of 14.5 on your ITR pistons and 14:1 on your PR3s/P72. If you're looking for a NICE kit for CHEAP, hit me up!
