Default Turbo B18b

Sup everyone, im soon ordering a Rev Hard Stg 2 kit for my Civic. I have a JDM 94 B18b engine swap. After i build my engine(forged internals, port and polished head, etc.) im going to boost. I want to run 10-15psi daily and around 20 track. What else would i want to get/upgrade to hold this amount of boost. Injectors(size), AEM EMS? What else?

20psi....I would prob. rec. getting it sleeved at that point, and psi is worthless without knowing what compression ratio you are planning to run.

I suggest you buy a book by Corky Bell, called Maximum Boost. Read that, and then do research online. You'll find all your answers along with the fact that kits are overpriced and not really all that great.

i wouldnt recommend a turbo then either if u dont know what goes into a kit. deffinitely read that book that was recommended before. i dont wanna be a dick, but if you dont know EXACTLY how a turbo works and what is needed for it to run right, you are not ready to take that project on. and as far as rebuilding your motor for 20psi, that is also a very complicated task. youll have to get forged rods, pistons, i would rec. having the crank micropolished and balanced, have the head and block decked to ensure that its level. then youll have to decide on bearing clearances, ring gaps, what type of rings also the bore of your cylinder walls. there is just so much. if i were you, i would build a turbo kit and put that on your car once you feel that you have enough knowledge for it.
and once you get bored with that, then build it. 20psi is alot for the street, i think u would be satisfied with 15psi and that area, and u wouldnt need it sleeved for that, just forged internals.
also, learn your tuning, everything is in the tune, thats where u can make alot of power and also whether your motor lasts two days or a long ass time.

^I second that.
And in regard to your response to mine, I again suggest Maximum Boost.
You clearly are not sure how everything works, and therefore are only going to get yourself into trouble.
