Post onward with the b18c swap (serious builders only pls)

ok hear we go. first of all i am currently deployed soldier (iraq) i have a 95 ex. yes i no what you guys are thinking oh no not another tard but just hear me out. so picked up a what should be stock jdm gsr full swap estimated 35k miles lets hope thats liberal. also on the way are a list of goodies : Brian Crower Cams and Valvetrain Package (stage 2 cam, valves, springs, retainers) AEM Tru-Time Adjustable Cam Gears, Aem Black Fuel Pressure Regulator, Walbro Hp 255 Fuel Pump Kit, Srs Jdm Type R 4-1 Header (semi egay cheapo yes i no what you are thinking sorry i had a laps in judgment ), Msd External Coil Distributor Cap kit, and hodata s300. now that is what i have so far.... i am looking for a good n/a platform hopefully with around 200-210 whp does this sound about right??? if not quite there maybe intake manifold and throttle body? i would also like to leave myself the option of boost so i want to stick to stock compression. oh yea the ex already has apexi ws2 exhaust not like it make a ****ing difference lol. so i guess my question to you guys that are serious builders is WHAT ELSE??? am i missing and key bolt on that will give me a decent increase with out limiting the boost option later down the road??? as of now with the motor and parts i am looking at around 5g's so lets keep the big $ parts to a minimum pls lol dont give me any more ideas to spend gobs of money lol. you might ask yourself why so much for a cheap car well its simple as most of you real builders already know sentimental value is everything! and like i said i am a soldier stuck in an ash trey for a year what can i say

A few things jump out at me right away..

1. Whats EMS system are you running?
2. Looks like you've upgraded your entire fuel system, except for the injectors?
3. I would make the decision now on whether or not your running boost in the future or not, as I'm sure you know, high compression pistons are an important step of a N/A build.

Intake manifold and throttle body will definitely get the system flowing better.

as edited in original post a hondata s300. sorry its 5 am here completely forgot to mention electro's. and injectors as of now stock but for the price might be able to squeeze them in any suggestions? and as of now i am still completely in the air on deep internals. i am intrigued with kick *** n/a motors but the hp gains on a boost setup also sound enticing (although maybe unusable depending on the hp at end result due to not being able to set power to the ground)

Everyone is tempted to do an all motor build, but from my perspective, the advantages to it are pretty minimal unless it's your DD. All motor builds have the smoothest progression through the power band and generally speaking are way more reliable than a complicated turbo set-up. Boost has much larger pay offs and if you do it right with quality parts, a good tune, hondata and don't mind having to wait till you hit high rpm to get most of your power it's probably a better option.. Plus you get the cool sounds of a turbo spooling up and blow off valve

RC injectors are very good quality, sizing depends on your end goals.
