originally i was going to boost a d15b but i got my hands on a b18c1 and im thinkin bout boosting that. but what internal stuff would i need to do befor i boost? im lookin to b in the 230-250whp range. and which fule man. te or uber?

Re:civic gsr-t
 

230-250hp range, I wouldn't bother doing anything to the internals. Of course if you did you could well exceed 250 whp and it would be safer, but it's not necessary. I'd get a clutch that will be more boost friendly and thats it. you'll want to run uberdata with that engine (obd1)

Re:civic gsr-t
 

Yes, fuel management will be your key here. If you have a complete stock reliable engine, then id feel safe boosting that puppy to 8psi - 10psi, you will make you 230whp - 250whp goal easily with good engine management. I do recommend pinning the block if this is a project car though
Good luck and if you do need a clutch, im the guy to hook you up

Preach on brother MIKE!! AMEN!

Re:civic gsr-t
 

if you get a good sized turbo you could well get into the 300hp range with 10 psi and a good tuner..

Re:civic gsr-t
 

well im happy to hear that. this is my daily driver so i want it to be reliable. and i will prob want more power later.

"Of course if you did....."
what are best internal mods to ensure no KABOOOOOOM!

I'd have to say build the bottom end with eagle rods and some forged pistons (CP's are nice) 8)
