Default B18C Swap Questions

Ok, so I'm new to the whole tuner world and I've previously owned a Mustang GT and I'm currently trying to get rid of my LT1 Trans Am. Trying to get rid of car payments and high insurance and stuff.

So anyways, my plans for this summer are to build a 92-95 hatch or coupe with a built b18c pushing out 500hp on a race fuel tune and around 300hp on a street tune all with the assistance of turbo of couse. This car will be my daily driver and all...

But anyways, what are you opinions on all of this and I'm actually having a hard time picking out a turbo but right now I'm leaning towards a T3/60-1.

My main question for you guys is at what HP/TQ and boost levels will the B18C motor kill itself? And also, what kind of transmission will I be needing to hold my race fuel tune?

Any input is welcome as I am just a noob to this whole situation but I have been doing some considerable research in the past week.

First off it's a dumb idea to try and daily drive a 500 whp Honda. Second your looking at Maaaaaaaad loot to get there. To have 500 reliable hp is alot of work and tuning, not to mention you'll get owned by gas. Expect to drop at least 25k just for the motor/parts tuning and suspension to make it run well. Talk to Boosted Jeff on here. He is just under 500hp on pump gas, but does not daily his car.

I'm not looking to drive a 500hp car everyday but rather have a separate tune for when I go to the track and then when I am doing my daily thing I can just run a 93 tune that is good for day to day driving.

25 grand is a little over board i think. Go with some sort of fuel/eng mang with at least 2 seperate profiles for the timing/air-fuel/ect. Neptune supports it im pretty sure. Do some more research for on what turbo your going to run there is alot of turbos that can support 500hp.
