Default engine/ turbo

I think you should search.
Really the new cummins can take over 40psi like nothing so I would say that.

be original... go diesel! LMAO! good stuff, good stuff...

compression ratio on the type R is a little high.. you can't push too much boost without lowering the CR.. like Snyper said.. do a little searchin' try the forced induction forum

Just read read read man.

You might be able to get a more straightforward answer if you already know your goals.

Read about how turbocharging works, what's needed to set it up, why poor tuning destroys engines, etc. homemadeturbo has alot of good info, as does honda tech here.

Use the search button. Until you have a really specific question, usually it's been answered a hundred times before, and you'll get treated like a douche if you ask a question we've all seen over and over again.

Figure out what exactly you want from this car, and what its' going to be used for. Figure out what your budget is, and what your mechanical abilities are. For the most part, turboing a car is a pretty simple process, but you have to know what you're doing, and be prepared for some setbacks along the road.

I had a goal in mind with my turbo setup, it changed before I even began, but I made the mistake of buying parts and parts instead of stockpiling money to buy it all when I was ready. Figure out what you want, we can help you from there.

FYI spending the $$ on a b18c5 isn't worth it if you're going boost. Might as well use that cash to build a strong bottom end.
