Default b18c: most reliable power i can get

ok so i have a 97 civic ex going to be swapped with a b18c was wondering whats the best way to get reliable power out of it i'm pretty new to f/i and was planning on going n/a but the cost to get the power i want will be ten times the amount of f/i, so is there a way to turbo and still be just as reliable???

thanks

sure, it's called low boost and quality parts. should last you a LONG time

btw, is your B18C the GSR or the JDM ITR?
