Default SOHC custom set up.... ur thoughts?

Like the topic says.... im piecing together a kit myself and so far this is what i have come up with.....
Spoolin Performance manifold, IC piping and DP
Tyrus intercooler
blitz BOV
tial WG
fast turbo oil return/feed lines
MBC.... not sure which one
garrett t3/to4e 50 trim .48 ar
hondata s200
conversion harness and chipped ecu i would need
rc 550 injectors
walboro 255 fuel pump

does this seem like it would be an alright kit? if not then anyone got any reccomendations? i would like to put down over 200 whp with the initial set up, and build from there. your opinions are MORE than wanted.... thanks

If your in the market for a boost controller, I have a TurboXS Dual Stage MBC that I am most likely getting rid of.

I'd flare the downpipe to 3" after the A/C compressor and go with a 3" exhaust. Sounds like a good setup to me. Good choice of turbo.

Thanks again. Starting to make me feel better about the choices i have made. Now.... about flaring the DP to 3"...... how much of a difference do you all think it would make? Just wondering..... i hadnt thought about doing that. Thanks again for the feedback, and keep it coming.

Dont you need a GM 3 bar map sensor for Hondata? What about a Wideband O2?

Well i dunno if the Hondata comes with a map sensor but if not you will need a better than your OEM one if you plan on going more than 11PSI+/-..after that your Honda Map sensor craps on you and turns on the CEL..

The wideband is for dataloging in the Hodata i think and also to read/tune your Air Fuel Mixture which is critical in a turbo setup...This is mostly used for street tunning.

The 3 bar is not a requirement but the stock map will only read to 11psi.

I fyou are tuning the car, a wideband is a must.

looks allright to me. If u have a stock bottom end D16 the 550 CC injectors are a bit over kill. The 450 CC's are a bit better for your application IMO.
