Default 2000 turbo gsr b18

Ok guys this is what my plans are. I bought the car about six months ago and it was already turboed.I drive the car every day for about a month. Now I have the motor pulled on it due to I want to build it as big as possible. So I am here to ask for advice on what to do and what others have done and what has worked the best for them. This is what I plan on so far I haven't bought any parts yet tho.
Pistons 9.0 to 1
Cams not sure what kind yet
Connecting rods probly eagle
Valves
Springs and retainers
Send block to b sleeved and cleaned up
Head work
And fuel not sure what to do about that

Sorry I sound like a retard but I have no idea about this motor

Pistons - CP, Wiseco, JE, Arias - Those brands are what most people at..

Stock cams are what a lot of us use, just get cam gears so you can adjust overlap

Rods - Golden Eagle, Pauter, Manley

Valvetrain - Supertech valves, valve springs and retainers. There are others, but I only have personal experience with Supertech.

Sleeves -As for sleeving, you must make sure the machine shop knows Honda engines. Any machine shop can do it, but you run the risk of your sleeves sinking if they are not Honda specialists.

Headwork - P&P definitely helps you might as well if you are going to replace your valves

Fuel - What is this for? Track only car or a daily driver car? If it's a daily, you may want to consider pump gas. What is the maximum octane at your gas stations? E85 may work for you, too, if there are a few E85 gas stations in your area.

I've given you very basic info.. You have a lot of research on your own to do...

buy a stock p28 on ebay for around $90, boomslang conversion harness for another $90 and that 28 can be socketed for crome, neptune or hondata

Why would he do all that? The car is already converted to OBD1 so all that is done. All he will need to have done is retune the for boost.
If you have a generic chip in the ECU the best thing to do is get a Hondata, Neptune or Crome when you have the tuning done. Leave it OBD1 as you will need it for the turbo tuning. No OBD2 tuning exists for OBD2 ECUs, only for K series motors which does not apply to use B series guys.

meh..there is soooo much to list...theres a million ways to achieve your goals, you need to search and come up with more foundation questions..

overall power goal

budget?

track car? daily driver?

what transmission will be used?

what fuel will be used?

again...budget?

sooo many root questions that need to be answered before you can even begin to start your mental build....start with a plan and go from there....

Unfortunately, that's impossible to do within a reasonable time. Start checking out setups that seem to be similar to the goals you want to set, as well as use of the car, budget for the kit and turbo (separate) and if you want to keep amenities like P/S and A/C. Check out the FAQs as well. The more specific, the better the shot of getting something you want..

Well I got a .70a/r turbo the intercooler and all the stuff for that all I need is the internals I plan on running the stock tranny with a stage 3 clutch. Also the best fuel I can get where I live is 91 pump gas. The car will not b my dd as I want it to b my take it out on the weekend and Cruz. I need a dd tho lol but I would only like to spend about 3500 and really want to achieve that 500 hp range if possible. Also I need hondata too is their a specific one I need, as for now I'm running a p28 chipped on the setup I have now but I did check out Californiadads build in this thread and if I could be at what he was at I would be happy. Sorry I don't really no what I'm doing and I don't even no where to begin or what to research. That is kind of y I am asking u guys cuz u have done this stuff and have a better Idea than I do
