Default Turbo Help

So in the next few weeks id like to start ordering turbo parts for my crx. its got a jdm b16 swap.

my questions are:

-what size t3/t4 turbo would be good?
-should i use dsm injectors? what size?
-will any downpipe for a turbo b16 motor work?
-how much boost is safe? Im thinking about doing arp headstuds, and a cometic HG as well.

If i have any more q's ill post them. thanks

btw, this build will be using an ebay turbo. Some of you may disagree, but i have done my research and they are very reliable as long as its not SS autochrome. Plus my buddy has an ebay turbo.

And will be utilizing an ebay manifold, but need to know which style is best.

hahaa sweet pic.

You should be "ok" with an ebay turbo and 440's, brand name log manifolds are dirt cheap and don't crack..ebay ones china made ones do.

yes i know. i plan on buying from the same person my friend got his from. it was brand new, no problems, and he did research on it before he got it and found loads more ppl with the same one. there was a guy bossting 15lbs daily for 2 years and still running like a champ.

trust me, i will be getting the best i can afford, and will do this as a daily driver. i wanna have a great setup on stock internals without the huge price tag. i know what im buying.

awesome pic!! do it right or dont do it all. If u are on budget just save alittle longer, you will spend more $$ fixing half-ass parts then if u just spent alittle more the 1st time.

Buy an Inline Pro exhaust manifold. It's a little more but will NEVER crack. Other than that. If you're on a budget. Buy DSM 450cc injectors, 3" downpipe, Precision 350hp intercooler, Walbro 255hp fuel pump, ecu chipped and tuned. With a T3/TO4 50 - 60 trim you should make 250whp - 290whp reliably all day
