wow. im pretty sure the 14b is internally set at 6-7 psi but im not to sure. i wouldnt worry to much about boosting that much power on your motor. there are alot of people running 200whp on stock internals with that motor but, most of them are tuned with uberdata, hondata and things like that. your ignition coil really wont do much for you either. the factory honda ignition set up is very respectible and i wouldnt mess with it unless your boosting fairly high. colder plugs and good ignition wires will be all i would go for at the moment. as far as your SMIC i would ditch it and go for a front mount. you can pick one up from JRC for about 240 and those are very nice FMIC. a new clutch is a very good idea, the stock one will not hold the additional torques very well. alot of people like lightened flywheels, but for a turbo motor its a toss up. it could bog down off a launch or between gears due to it losing momentum, but then again u gain a little up top, so that idea is up for debate. and if you plan on building the internals, dont skimp out. you already will have the motor torn apart. put in some nice pistons, rods etc. have your cylinder walls honed if there fubared. if you really want to go all out, you could have it sleeved by AEBs, DART, etc. or you could try blockposting. i wouldnt jump right into the project if you have the time. take your time and do it right the first time. you dont wanna be boosting at 7 and want more so you go to ten and blow it. fix it go to 15 and blow it, so on and so forth, build the motor right and be safe.
