It's meant to go on a completely stock D16Y8 (which is better than the D16Z6 BTW) and be completely reliable. The only thing I see is that you might need to buy a fuel pump.
How many miles did your friends car have on it?
What turbo kit did he use?
Does he have the necessary knowledge to tune his vehicle?
Lower compression pistons and stronger rods are not necessary for only running 7 PSI. It's when you want to upgrade and run more boost is when there is a problem. The turbo kit on his car will smoke any stock B18C1 swap. It will probably beat a C5 swap of he gets a 3'' exhaust system because the kit makes 170 WHP with everything stock including stock cat and muffler-open up the exhaust and thats good for probably 15 WHP, atleast 10 over stock anyway.

As I said, "pretty sure". So I was wrong but I never said I was a FI guy anyway and don't really care about the Edlebrock kit. D16Y8 better than the Z6? Why because of the whole whopping 2 more hp? Don't use that arguement because I'm tired of hearing it. His motor had just over 100K so it's still a healthy Honda engine and he was a damn good mechanic. You name it he did it. He installed my friends Drag turbo setup on my friends GSR as well fully built his Greddy turbo'd Z6. He also built all motor applications for a bunch of other friends. He was pushing 10-15 lbs daily on the Z6 and had it for a couple years and had to swap pistons and rods out a couple times. Yes you have proven that more power will be put to the ground but you have not answered any of my questions. Read my posts again. I NEVER claimed that the JDM swap would lay down more power to the wheels. I questioned a few of your opinions and yet you come out with no answers and just throw up random points that were never argued in the first place. Like I said, take a deep breath, read my post, and throw something at me that pertains to my disagreements with your original post.
