hello i got a b16a2 block and head that i am looking to rebuild
(oil pan to valve cover) for turbo looking to have tuned at 12-14psi so it can be safely daily driven i would also like to have around or close to 300whp.
there is so many options out there im just looking for some suggestions for internals good piston and rod combos, what cams, whats best compression, block bore, head-work, valves, retainers, springs, etc.

thats a great thread, however im not looking on how to install a turbo system ive installed them before... what i got is a b16a2 engine i would like to build solid and capable of some decent power im looking for info on how i should build my block up and my head up and what turbo i should get with what build setup and so i can SAFELY run 12-14psi and daily drive but say later down the road i want to upgrade my turbo i want my engine to be able to handle it.

300whp is just an idea of my goal hp i want to be in the 250whp-300whp range on about 12-14psi of boost

Your goal will be very easy to make. You could do it with the stock motor if you wanted with a good tune.

As for your questions sorry I'd answer but itd be to much. Just search and see what set ups people have and what kind of power their making.

This is a typical, I have no clue, wanna turbo my car statement.
Everybody repeat after me. "PSI is not an indicator of anything. It doesn't mean anything without knowing what turbo you plan on running.". Especially NOT power. The only person that PSI means anything to is the person tuning your car.

Then find a turbo capable of making that power. The info is out there. Check teh last page of my "Go Fast" thread.

Seriously though? Do more reading.
