I would recommend just buying a new motor that is already built to handle a turbo that size. There are a lot of custom car shops that offer crate motors that are built to withstand up to 1000 hp, and arent too expensive. Rather than trying to build your exhisting motor up, I think it would be wise to buy a new one so you know your block is still good and its got quality parts on it. Also you will need to upgrade your tranny, cooling system, brakes, get full exhaust done, upgrade your fuel system, and do different gears in the car to withstand that much power.

wow a t3/t4 is tiny. t3/t4 is about the size of a 16g that comes on all DSM cars. you wont even touch 200 horse with it. i have a 98 prelude H22a4 with a 20g aka t04e with a .56 a/r still a small turbo compared to a gt35r will still only make 500whp on cam2 fully built motor. you will be fine i ran an 18g for 3 years on 8 psi with no probs i had about 250 to the wheels and remember i started with 70 more hp. As far as changing stuff you will need a new exhaust manifold(will come with the Kit) and if your gonn arun a FMIC your gonna have some customizing to do with the front bumper to make it fit. also you will need to wire in a fuel management, possibly injector clips.
