    you could be looking anywhere from 0 whp (blown engine) to like 500+ whp with gt42 and 15:1 comp pistons running on methanol, and possibly adding NOS to the setup.

    or the other way around would be to tell what turbo you're using, or to tell what whp you want...

    either that ^ or there are some new turbo cams that come at 12 psi that I know nothing about

    What is built? I have a b18b1 with forged pistons and rods, but not sleeved. On the stock LS head and a t3/t4 I am around 240ish @ 11 PSI. Mine needs a aftermarket MAP sensor so I can up the boost.

    now we're getting somewhere

    thought I dont know what T4 turbine you're using, with about stock compression pistons your power goal is fine for a reliable setup, as long as you're using parts that dont break easy.

    P.S.

    log manifold is the dumbest manifold ever created. Look elsewhere

    is what you need to do is save your money use all name brand parts so you dont F*** it up PUT A GSR HEAD ON IT SO YOU HAVE VTEC AND THAT HEAD IS LESS PRONE FOR DETONATION AND RAISES THE COMP .2 I NO THATS A LOT RIGHT forged rods and pistons at 9.5:1 about a 60 trim turbo garrett turbonetics or precision with a cheap ebay intercooler and piping setup whatev bov you want name brand tial 38 mm wastegate and a log manifold and sell all your leftovers then all you need is a 3 bar map sensor and you can get almost to 500hp as long as you have the right clutch and everything else is right but relistically low 4's at 18 lb

    12psi on a built motor is a waste of everyones time and your money. for 300 wheel youre looking at 1.2-1.5bar. thats on a 6067 or equivalent
