Stock JDM B16a ...... N/A , Turbo , or Supercharged.
I can really use some help with an engine decision. I have a complete JDM B16A engine and transmission setup. I have a Mugen valve cover, and a Greddy Evo II Cat back Exhaust. They aren't on yet because I haven't decided on N/A or Forced Induction? I don't want to buy something twice. i would like to do it right the first time out, as far as purchasing goes. If i go all motor i would like to be able to get 300 whp, but i would need tips or info from any one who has found what works. if i go turbo low 12's to high 11's still streetable if thats possible. either way i would like to here the pro's and con's of both and anyone's personal experience with either or. Any help with this subject will be much appreciated. i can be reached here or at bluedrib@aol.com thanks. :driving:

price doesnt matter. it will have to be staged or bought in sections. like if i went turbo i would build up trans. and maybe some better axles, then maybe sleeve the block or some other internal work, then buy and dyno tune the turbo system. that is just an example of what i might do if i went that direction. do you have any realistic suggestions for all motor? will i run into any upkeep problems later that i might not run into if i went with forced induction? i would like to be able to talk to somebody that can help me, an not just tell me to you the same generic parts everyother person is. i am not trying to spend more money than anyone, but i would just like to know that i am getting the most power for any components i may buy. every ounce of 'hp' as you know counts

There's no off-the-shelf answer for what you're trying to do, other than to quit buying things right now, and research and ask about some one else's build-up that you might clone, or hire a performance shop to do it all for you.
Unfortunately, for such lofty goals out of the gate, the answer is becoming more and more "if you have to ask, you aren't up the to task".

228lb-ft... I don't see that happening without nitrous.
