opinions please
no thanx il just stick with my civic and build that i mean its not like these are hard goals to reach if you have the money which i dont at the moment but being in iraq has some perks right. im just trying to get as much info as possible before i start my build i have been buying stuff when i can. im not some rich kid who cna just go out and buy this stuff im from arizona who is stuck in the army and trying to build a car that will be fun
im lookin for atleast 500hp just motor with turbo. well im just lookin to get the things i will need for a 500hp motor without wasting money on somthing that i will have to rebuy later because somthing isnt big enough or somthing dumb like that you understand im not new to the import world havent been for 5 years im just new to the turbo world.
just why not build a streetable car with about 350? the thing is, you say you're not new to the import world, but you're setting goals as someone would without any knowledge about hondas. but don't mind me, just do what you want. and with that build, like sov said, you'll be spending around 20-25 thousand on parts alone (newish parts).
well im not lookin to make this car my daily driver i have a honda integra and truck for that. so i dont think they are unreasonable goals they might take me a few years but dont all budget project cars???

First and foremost, 500whp will not be feasable on pump gas. You will have to run race gas in order to make those kinds of numbers, (110+ octane).
The block will need to be sleeved, Eagle Rods (crower rods are n/a rods), forged 9:1 pistons probably 81.5mm best bet. All new oil pump/waterpump/bearings. Stock VTEC Bseries head will support 500whp without any modifications. However if you want to rev higher to 9K+, you will need to put new retainers and springs in. IMO ITR cams are plenty for 500whp.
Tubular manifold, Precision SC61/Garrett GT30R/Garret T3 60-1, good intercooler core, 2.5" piping, good intake manifold, ported TB, 3" exhaust at the very least, Tial 38mm wastegate.
1600cc injectors, Walbro 255lhp fuel pump, walbro inline fuel pump, Hondata S300, 8 range spark plugs, someone who is good with tuning to tune it for you.
With 500whp you'll need at least a 6pt cage in the car with 5pt harnesses if you want to race it at the track provided you have slicks on the car and know how to drive.

well i understand most of that and you are right you couldnt run it on pump gas ok so i will go with eagle rods then and i have 8.5:1 already in the car now for the would oem stuff be ok for bearings water pump and oil pump or would you recommend i go with aftermarket and if so what?? about how much would the itr cams cost?? i have a tubular manifold on the car already. just need the bigger turbo. 3in inter piping is that ok??? is the skunk2 pro series a good enough manifold?? if not what should i go with???? what exactly are 8 range spark plugs???
what oem stuff? itr cams aren't the easiest thing to find and are not cheap. what type of tubular manifold? 3 inch piping should be ok... skunk2, probably a custom manifold. 8 range sp's are colderplugs that run with your 'future' setup.
